Application  

active laser crystals (dopants: Nd, Tm, Ho, Er, Cr), spectroscopy, vacuum windows, IR optics 

Remarks  

no double refraction therefore suitable as a substitute for sapphire in optical systems and also application as sturdy material for windows

Remarkable 
  • Undoped single crystals are a good alternative to sapphire with a larger transmission range in IR, not birefringent!
  • Hard and chemically stable
  • The higher refractive index makes it easier to construct lens systems with low aberration
  • Maximum possible diameter is 120-140 mm
  • A doped YAG crystal is used as an active laser medium or scintillator crystal
