General Description
Our laser crystals, including Nd:YAG, Yb:YAG, and Nd:YVO4, are engineered for optimal efficiency in diode-pumped solid-state lasers. Their broad absorption bandwidths, high stimulated emission cross-sections, and low lasing thresholds make them suitable for high-power and ultrafast laser systems. POC crystals exhibit excellent thermal and mechanical properties, ensuring stable operation even under high-energy conditions. Whether used for industrial material processing, medical laser systems, or scientific research, POC laser crystals set the benchmark for reliability and performance.
