Repurposed Teal "Paraiba" YAG, Asscher Cut, 6.9 Carats

🌍 GENERAL MATERIAL DESCRIPTION

• Material Name:Yb:YAG
• Country of Origin : China
• Growth Method: Czochralski

Ytterbium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Yb:YAG) is a highly efficient laser material widely used in industrial and medical laser systems. Known for its strong absorption bands in the near-infrared range, Yb:YAG is particularly effective for high-power applications. Its main advantage lies in its low quantum defect, which leads to minimal heating and high efficiency, making it ideal for high-power and continuous-wave laser operations. In industrial settings, Yb:YAG lasers are extensively used for cutting, welding, and drilling a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, and ceramics. Their precision and control make them invaluable in the automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing sectors, especially where high-quality and intricate work is required. In the medical field, Yb:YAG lasers are used for various surgical procedures, including in ophthalmology and dermatology, due to their precision and minimal thermal damage to surrounding tissues. Their reliability, efficiency, and versatility make Yb:YAG lasers a cornerstone in the development of modern laser technologies, driving innovations in both industrial manufacturing and medical procedures.

🏭 SPECIFIC Lot INFORMATION

This particular batch of rough material was sourced from discarded sections of defective boules originally designated for laser rod manufacturing, acquired from a crystal warehouse located in China. Each individual boule exhibited a distinct range of hues, ranging from a subtle minty green to a vibrant teal.
