TSAG - Terbium Scandium Aluminum Garnet
IntroductionTerbium Scandium Aluminum Garnet (Tb3Sc2Al3O12, TSAG) is the key isolator material for next generation fiber laser. As an ideal magneto-optic crystal in visible and infrared regions, TSAG has the advantages of high Verdet constant, excellent thermal and mechanical properties.
CASTECH's magneto-optical crystal TSAG is featured by
• Large Verdet constant (48 Rad T-1m-1 at 1064 nm), about 20-30% higher than that of TGG
• Low absorption (<3000 ppm/cm at 1064 nm), about 30% less than that of TGG
• High power compliant
• Low thermally-induced birefringence
• Ideal for compact magneto-optic devices
Main Applications
- Faraday Rotators
- Optical
