N51 Nd: Glass

Nd Glass Laser Crylink
Nd Glass Manufacture Process

N51 Neodymium-doped phosphate glass has the characteristics of high energy storage, large stimulated emission cross-section, long fluorescence lifetime, and easy preparation of large size and good optical uniformity. Therefore, it is widely used as an amplifier working substance in a high-power laser system.
