Crystals and optics processing services

Potassium Gadolinium Tungstate (KGd(WO₄)₂) crystal is an excellent stimulated Raman laser crystal with characteristics such as a wide light transmission range, good thermal conductivity, high damage threshold, large Raman shift coefficient, and high Raman gain. It can maintain high conversion efficiency and beam quality during the Raman frequency conversion process. The KGW crystal can withstand high pump power and is suitable for pump lights of various wavelengths, making it widely used in Raman lasers, laser frequency conversion, medical imaging, photodynamic therapy, environmental monitoring, spectroscopy research, material processing, and other fields.

Potassium Titanyl Phosphate (KTiOPO4 or KTP) is widely used in both commercial and military lasers including laboratory and medical systems, range-finders, lidar, optical communication and industrial systems.

Plano-concave rectangular cylindrical lenses provide uni- axial negative imaging for anamorphic beam expansion and a wide range of applications.These lenses may also be used as mirror blanks if a concave cylindrical surface mirror is required.

Invented by H.W. Dove, Dove Prisms are also known Reversion prisms.  When the prism is rotated about its length axis, the image viewed through the prism rotates at twice the prism rotation rate.  This is an unusual and sometimes useful property for special applications. Entry and exit faces are anti-reflection coated.

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.

Ytterbium-doped Potassium Gadolinium Tungstate (Yb:KGd(WO₄)₂, Yb:KGW) crystal is an excellent laser gain material, boasting numerous advantages over the widely used Nd³⁺-doped materials. Its wide spectral emission band of 1023-1060 nm enables the generation of short laser pulses (picosecond or femtosecond level). The broad absorption band at 980 nm and highly absorbent pump radiation allow it to efficiently utilize diode laser pumping. Compared with YAG doped with Yb³⁺ ions, KGW crystal has a larger absorption cross-section, which reduces the minimum pump intensity required to achieve transparency in the quasi-two-level system of Yb.

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.
