Nd:YAG lasers typically emit light with a wavelength of 1064 nm, in the infrared.
However, there are also transitions near 946, 1120, 1320, and 1440 nm.
Nd:YAG lasers operate in both pulsed and continuous mode.
A laser is constructed from three principal parts: An energy source (usually referred to as the pump or pump source), A gain medium or laser medium, and.
Two or more mirrors that form an optical resonator.
The active medium or laser medium of the Nd:YAG laser is made up of a synthetic crystalline material (Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG)) doped with a chemical element (neodymium (Nd)).
