Er:YAG - Erbium Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet
Introduction
Erbium Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Er:YAG) is an excellent laser crystal which lases at 2940 nm. This band is at the hydroxyl absorption peak which can be strongly absorbed by biological tissues. So it widely applies to medical area, such as dental (hard tissues), orthopedics, etc.
CASTECH's laser crystal Er:YAG is featured by
• High slope efficiency • Operate well at room temperature
• Operate in a relatively eye-safe wavelength range
