Nd:YAG(Neodimium Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) has been widely used laser crystal for solid-state laser. Its laser parameters are a good compromisebetween the strengths and weaknesses of its competition. Nd:YAG crystals are used in all types of solid-state lasers frequency-doubled continuous wave, high-energy Q-switched , etc.. Compared with others laser crystals, its fluorescence lifetime is twice more than Nd:YVO4, and thermal conductivity is also better.
