Nd:YLF — Nd-doped Lithium Yttrium Fluoride

Short Description:

Nd:YLF crystal is another very important crystal laser working material after Nd:YAG. The YLF crystal matrix has a short UV absorption cut-off wavelength, a wide range of light transmission bands, a negative temperature coefficient of refractive index, and a small thermal lens effect. The cell is suitable for doping various rare earth ions, and can realize laser oscillation of a large number of wavelengths, especially ultraviolet wavelengths. Nd:YLF crystal has wide absorption spectrum, long fluorescence lifetime, and output polarization, suitable for LD pumping, and is widely used in pulsed and continuous lasers in various working modes, especially in single-mode output, Q-switched ultrashort pulse lasers. Nd: YLF crystal p-polarized 1.053mm laser and phosphate neodymium glass 1.054mm laser wavelength match, so it is an ideal working material for the oscillator of the neodymium glass laser nuclear catastrophe system.
