Nd :YAG

The Nd :YAG laser is by far the most commonly used type of solid-state laser. Neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd :YAG) possesses a combination of properties uniquely favorable for laser operation. The YAG host is hard, of good optical quality, and has a high thermal conductivity. Furthermore, the cubic structure of YAG favors a narrow fluorescent linewidth, which results in high gain and low threshold for laser operation. In Nd :YAG, trivalent neodymium substitutes for trivalent yttrium, so charge compensation is not required.
