NdYAGbaserte

NdYAGbaserte refers to technologies or devices that utilize a Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet crystal as their active medium. This specific type of laser crystal is known for its ability to produce a beam of light at a wavelength of 1064 nanometers in the infrared spectrum. NdYAG lasers are a common and versatile type of solid-state laser, widely employed across various scientific, industrial, and medical applications.

The NdYAG crystal is grown synthetically, with neodymium ions (Nd3+) acting as the lasing medium embedded within the YAG (Y3Al5O12) host lattice. When pumped with an external energy source, typically another laser or a flashlamp, the neodymium ions become excited and then emit photons at the characteristic 1064 nm wavelength. This emitted light can then be amplified within the resonant cavity of the laser.

In industrial settings, NdYAG lasers are used for precise cutting, welding, and marking of various materials due to their high power and focused beam. In medicine, they find applications in ophthalmology for treatments like posterior capsulotomy, in dermatology for removing tattoos and hair, and in surgery for precise tissue ablation. The 1064 nm wavelength is advantageous for certain medical procedures because it can penetrate tissues and be absorbed by specific chromophores. Furthermore, these lasers can be frequency-doubled to produce green light at 532 nm, expanding their application range. The robustness and reliability of NdYAG lasers contribute to their continued importance in numerous technological fields.
