Waveplate

Waveplates (retardation plates or phase shifters) are made from materials which exhibit birefringence. The velocities of the extraordinary and ordinary rays through the birefringent material varies inversely with their refractive indices. This difference in velocities gives rise to a phase difference when the two beams recombine.

Half Waveplate

A half waveplate rotates linearly polarized light to any desired orientation. The rotation angle is twice the angle between the incident polarized light and the optical axis. Therefore, the half waveplate can be used as a continuously adjustable polarization rotator. The half waveplate is used to rotate the plane of polarization, electro-optic modulation and as a variable ratio beamsplitter when used in conjunction with a polarization cube.


Quarter Waveplate

When linearly polarized light is input at 45deg to the axis of a quarter waveplate, the output is circularly polarized, similarly, input circularly polarized light is transformed into linearly polarized light. The quarter waveplate is used in creating circular polarization from linear or linear polarization from circular, ellipsometry, optical pumping, suppressing unwanted reflection and optical isolation.

Micro Sizes Rod Lens

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.

Yb:YAG Crystal for solid-state laser
Yb:KGd(WO4)2, Yb:KGW Crystals(Ytterbium-doped Potassium Gadolinium Tungstate)

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.

Nd:YVO4 Neodymium Doped Yttrium Orthovanadate laser crystals

Nd:YVO4 (Neodymium Doped Yttrium Orthovanadate) crystals is one of the most promising commercially available diode pumped solid state laser materials, especially, for low to middle power density. This is mainly for its higher absorption and emission features than Nd:YAG crystal. Pumped by laser diodes, Nd:YVO4 crystal has been incorporated with high NLO coefficient crystals ( LBO, BBO, or KTP) to frequency-shift the output from the near infrared to green, blue, or even UV. This incorporation to construct all solid state lasers is an ideal laser tool that can cover the most widespread applications of lasers, including machining, material processing, spectroscopy, wafer inspection, light displays, medical diagnostics, laser printing, and data storage, etc. It has been shown that Nd:YVO4 based diode pumped solid state lasers are rapidly occupying the markets traditionally dominated by water-cooled ion lasers and lamp-pumped lasers, especially when compact design and single-longitudinal-mode outputs are required.
