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.

Rod Lenses are used for fiber coupling and laser diode beam shaping, lenses with a 0mm working distance are ideal for collimation of single and multi-mode optical fibers and laser diodes because the lens can be positioned and glued directly to the emission source. For focusing applications, or in instances where the lens can’t be in direct contact with the emission source, all lenses are available with a small working distance as well. HG OPTRONICS can provide the size from Φ1～Φ15mm, quantity price and custom sizes, including variations in polished/ground surfaces, are available to customers upon request.

A Neutral Density filter allows a photographer to control the exposure in an image very easily. The filter stops light reaching the camera sensor, therefore allowing us to leave the camera with a higher aperture for a longer amount of time. HG OPTRONICS neutral-density filter is a filter that reduces or modifies the intensity of all wavelengths, or colors, of light equally, giving no changes in hue of color rendition.

HGO grows Nd:YLF laser crystals using Czochralski technology. Nd3+:YLF crystal is characterized by its long lifetime of 4F3/2 neodymium energy level. Compared to Nd:YAG, the lower thermal conductivity and a weak negative dn/dT lead to lower thermal distortions and allow to achieve a better output beam quality. Another distinctive feature is the high UV transparency, which is favorable for pumping with xenon flash lamps.
