Er: YLF

Er: YLF Crystal has good absorption property on 1730nm Wavelength. Er: YLF Crystal can not only be used to implement LD pumped low-threshold lasers. Still can use passive tuning Q Er: YLF Lasers to realize 3 mj nanosecond pulse of energy. Trivalent Er in the Er: YLF laser can provide convenient spectrum of room temperature solid state laser light sources in the safe area of the eye. Moreover, the transition of ⁴S_3/2 to⁴I_9/2 based laser source Er provides a four-level transition in the spectral region safe for the human eye, which can operate at room temperature. Er: YLF Crystal is attracting more and more attention from people.

Er:YLF Crystal —— Pulse‐Energy‐Enhanced, Strongly Modulated Er:YLF Laser for Medical Applications

YLF Crystal can be used in laser emission at a wavelength of 3000nm, which can be strongly absorbed by water molecules. This property enables it to be used in laser surgery, and it can also be used in lidar detection. For these applications, a good Er laser pump source is essential.
