CrYAG
Arsuf lasers’ reliable product
When coming to sourcing a Cr:YAG (Chromium-doped YAG) Passive Q-Switch Crystal for your Nd: YAG ROD, there are 2 parameters to be considered:
How to keep the initial transmission t0 value fixed, and most importantly, maintain a high energy output that is very sensitive to the location in the crystal boule.
Arsuf lasers’ manufacturing process ensures compliance with these specifications.
A high level of polishing and our hard coating process complete the production cycle.
Arsuf lasers also provides engineering support and failure analysis, free if needed.

MORE INFORMATION
Cr4+:YAG Laser Crystal
Cr4+:YAG (Yttrium Aluminum Garnet doped with Chromium ions) is a laser crystal that is an excellent crystal for passively Q-switching diode pumped or lamp-pumped Nd: YAG, Nd: YLF, Nd: YVO4, or other Nd and Yb doped lasers at a wavelength from 0.8 to 1.2 µm. It is an Excellent crystal for high repetition rate electro-optical applications and can handle high power pulses and get to a fairly high laser damage threshold. The material is not hygroscopic and has a High extinction ratio.
The Cr4+ ions in the crystal act as an active laser medium, while the YAG crystal matrix provides mechanical stability and high thermal conductivity. The Q-switch, also known as a mode locker, is an optical switch that controls the build-up and release of laser energy within the cavity, allowing for the generation of high-energy, short-pulse laser beams. This type of laser is widely used in medical, industrial, and scientific applications such as laser cutting, laser welding, and laser marking.
Frequently Asked Questions
According to the technical specification, a detailed report is supplied to the customer.
No, as all crystals are processed on the same line, the main difference lies in the LIDT requirements (Laser Induced Damage Threshold) determined by the rod's energy density.
Replacement depends on usage, maintenance, and industry, similar to car mileage.
Arsuf is capable of selecting diverse manufacturing and coating processes to maximize crystal quality, efficiency, maximal energy output, above-average lifetime, and high damage threshold. The entire process is performed in-house, leveraging multiple supplier capabilities to ensure the highest customer satisfaction—free from the constraints of a single-supplier approach.
Product warranty is provided by Arsuf, enabling selection from multiple manufacturing and coating technologies for the best outcome.
