Yb3+: CaF2 - Ytterbium Doped Calcium Fluoride
Introduction
Ytterbium-doped Calcium fluoride (Yb: CaF2), grown by Czochralski technique, is with long fluorescence lifetime and broad absorption bands, which make it an ideal material for laser diode pumping. Yb:CaF2 exhibits broad emission bandwidth as well as limited non-linear effects under intense irradiation, supporting generation of ultra-short pulses and high-power operation.
CASTECH's laser crystal Yb: CaF2 is featured by
• Low quantum defect ,Long fluorescence lifetime
• Wide optical transmission range, from 0.12μm to 10μm
• Low dispersion behavior
• Limited nonlinear effects under intense laser irradiation
• Customized coatings are available
