Nd:YAG primarily operates at 1064 nm. Other possible laser lines include 946 nm and 1319 nm. What dopant concentrations are available? Standard concentrations include 0.5%, 0.7%, 1.0%, and 1.1%. Custom dopant levels are available upon request. Do you offer custom sizes or shapes? Yes. We offer rods, slabs, discs, and custom geometries. Please send your drawing or size requirements. Are AR or HR coatings available? Yes. AR and HR coatings at 1064 nm (and custom wavelengths) are available for one or both surfaces. Are these crystals suitable for high-power lasers? Yes. Our Nd:YAG crystals are laser-grade, with low absorption, high damage threshold, and excellent thermal stability. What is the typical lead time? In-stock items ship in 1–2 business days. Custom fabrication typically requires 2–3 weeks. Do you support university and research customers? Yes. Academic discounts and tax-exempt ordering are supported for universities and research institutions.
