Co2+:MgAl2O4 Cospinel is a relatively new material for passive Q-switching in lasers
emitting from 1.2 to 1.6 μm, in particular, for eye-safe 1.54 μm Er:glass
laser, but also works at 1.44 μm and 1.34 μm wavelengths. Spinel is a hard,
stable crystal that polishes well. Cobalt substitutes readily for magnesium in
the Spinel host without the need for additional charge compensation ions. High
absorption cross section (3.5×10-19 cm2) permits Q-switching of
Er:glass laser without intracavity focusing both with flash-lamp and diode-laser
pumping. Negligible excited-state absorption results in high contrast of
Q-switch, i.e. the ratio of initial (small signal) to saturated absorption is
higher than 10.

Why Choose HGO ?
HG OPTRONICS.,INC. supplies very high quality of Co2+:MgAl2O4 Cobalt-doped magnesium aluminate spinel.The use of high quality starting materials for crystal growth, boule interferometry, and precise measurement of initial transmission and absorption using transmission spectroscopy and ZYGO measurements, assures that each crystal will comply with customer’s specification and perform well in laser system.
Tolerance of initial transmission can be well controlled within as high precision as 0.5% which could be very essential to some delicate laser systems. Besides, based on HGO’s advanced bonding technology, high quality of optical bonding kits between Er:Yb:glass and cospinel q-switch can also be supplied.
HGO could also provide high quality polishing and apply high laser induced damage threshold coating for the switch.and also for other related cavity lens and mirrors for the eye safe lasers systems.

Cr4+:YAG (Y3Al5O12) crystal is ideal for passive Q-switch operation of Nd:YAG and other Nd3+ or Yb3+ doped laser crystals in the wavelength range of 900 nm to 1200 nm. Passive Q-switches or saturable absorbers provide high power laser pulses without electro-optic Q-switches, thereby reducing the package size and eliminating a high voltage power supply. A remarkable feature of Cr4+:YAG is the high damage threshold of >10 J/cm2@1064 nm, 10 ns. Its absorption band extends from 900 nm to 1200 nm and peaks around 1060 nm with a very large absorption cross-section.

KDP Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate and KD*P or DKDP Potassium Dideuterium Phosphate are among the most widely-used commercial NLO materials, characterized by good UV transmission, high damage threshold, and high birefringence, though their NLO coefficients are relatively low. They are usually used for doubling, tripling and quadrupling of a Nd:YAG laser under the room temperature. In addition, they are also excellent electro-optic crystals with high electro-optic coefficients, widely used as electro-optical modulators, such as Q-switches, Pockels Cells, etc.

Double Concave Lenses are used in beam expansion, image reduction, or light projection applications. These lenses are also ideal for expanding the focal length of an optical system. Double Concave Lenses, which have two concave surfaces, are Optical Lenses with negative focal lengths. HG OPTRONICS offers Double Concave lenses with a variety of coating options.

HGO grows Tm:YLF laser crystals using Czochralski technology. Tm:YLF is an important middle infrared laser crystal. Because Tm:YLF is negative uniaxial crystal, whose thermal refractive index coefficient is negative, some thermal distortion may be counteracted and high-quality light can be output. Conveniently pumped at 792nm, 1.9μm linearly polarized beam is output in a axis, and non-linearly polarized beam is output in c axis. The YLF crystals has low non-linear refraction index value and thermo optical constants, which makes these crystals applicable in research, development, education, production, photonics, optic, laser technology and telecommunications. Besides, Tm3+:YLF lasers are ideal pump sources for 2.1 μm Ho3+:YAG lasers. This is due to a good overlap of Tm3+:YLF emission and Ho3+:YAG absorption spectra and the capacity of producing linearly polarized output. What is more, the refractive index of Tm3+:YLF decreases with temperature, leading to a negative thermal lens that is partly compensated by a positive lens effect due to end face bulging.

Non-Polarizing Cube Beamsplitters also called NPBS Cube is a more sophisticated type consisting of two right- angle prisms cemented together at their hypotenuse faces.The cemented face of one prism is coated. Before cementing, with a metallic or dielectric layer having the desired reflecting properties, both in the percentage of reflection and the desired color. The absorption loss to the coating is minimal and transmission and reflection could be designed to 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, etc.

Color glass changed the spectral properties of optical radiation. They therefore allow scientific experiments and industrial applications where that change is necessary. You can combine color glass filters together to change the bandpass or to increase the attenuation. Color glass change the spectral properties of optical radiation.
