$67.58 (-40%)
Professional Nd:YAG laser rod, 4mm dia. x 80 mm length, flat – flat ends, both ends wedged cca. 2 degrees from normal to rod axis. One end is AR coated, the other one looks as having a reflective mirror coating. Rod made in Turnov, Czech Republic, by the famous crystal growing company Crytur, around mid 80′. A quality certificate from a rod of similar size is attached in the picture. Very good optical quality, see the pictures with transmittance. Yellow color due to additional doping with cerium oxide (CeO
2
) to reduce solarization during pumping – this assures a longer lifetime of the yellow rod than of a regular violet Nd:YAG rod, under the same pumping conditions. The rod was used in some preliminary R&D experiments. Good for an oscillator giving a close to TEM
00
operation. To be pumped with a flashlamp with matching discharge size (3 – 4) mm dia. x (75 – 80) mm length. Good for material processing, medical, research, or educational lasers.
