Key Features:

Ho:YAG Crystal

Description: Ho:YAG crystals are known for their emission wavelength of 2090 nm, which is in the eye-safe range. This wavelength has high transmission in the atmospheric window, making it ideal for remote sensing, laser ranging, and laser radar applications. The 2090 nm wavelength also coincides with the high absorption peak of water in biological tissues, ensuring minimal penetration depth and reduced thermal damage to surrounding tissues during medical procedures. Consequently, Ho:YAG lasers are extensively used in surgical and therapeutic applications. Additionally, Ho:YAG lasers can be used as pump sources for mid-infrared laser crystals (e.g., ZGP crystals) to produce 3-5 µm infrared lasers.
