Eye-safe 1.5 µm Phosphate Laser Glass

This family of 'eye-safe' laser glasses are erbium-ytterbium doped, phosphate-based laser glass used in flashlamp-pumped and diode-pumped solid-state laser systems, which are used increasingly in defense and medical applications.

CHARACTERISTICS

Phosphate laser glasses generally offer higher solubility of rare earth dopants, meaning that the amount of active ions can be significantly increased. Examples of glasses in this group are LG-940 Erbium-Ytterbium-Chromium-Cerium doped glass, LG-950 Erbium-Ytterbium doped phosphate laser glass (produced specially for the European market) and LG-960 Erbium-Ytterbium doped phosphate laser glass, which offers an improved thermomechanical figure of merit.

YOUR ADVANTAGES

• Suited to cost-effective solid-state laser systems.
• Potential for increased load and/or repetition rates.
