Nd:YAG
Neodymium Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Nd:YAG) laser crystal is the most early and mature laser material adopted by R&D, medical, industrial and military customers. It is the ubiquitous presence for near-infrared solid-state lasers and their frequency-doubler, tripler, and higher order multiplier.
