Nd:Ce:YAG is an excellent laser material used for
no-water cooling and miniature laser systems. the (Nd,Ce): YAG laser
rod we produce has the characteristics of high efficiency(
laser efficiency than Nd: YAG high about 30-50%),
low threshold, anti-violet radiation and high repetition frequency for
lasers operation. It has achieved the international advanced level .it
is the most ideal laser material for the high repetition air cooling
lasers.
It suitable for different modes of operation (cw, pulsed ,
Q-switched, mode locked, doubling of frequency ) and high-average power
lasers.
