Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What measures are taken to ensure the homogeneity of the neodymium distribution in the glass?
A1: The manufacturing process incorporates in-line spectroscopic analysis during melting to monitor neodymium concentration, ensuring uniform dispersion throughout the glass matrix. This reduces variability in laser performance across different batches.

Q2: How does the glass composition affect its thermal stability during laser operation?
A2: The fluorophosphate base enhances thermal stability by distributing heat evenly during laser operation. This mitigates localised stress and prevents optical distortions in high-power applications.

Q3: Can the material be tailored to specific wavelengths for custom laser designs?
A3: Yes, adjustments in neodymium concentration and glass composition allow tuning of the emission profile. This flexibility supports specific wavelength requirements in customised laser systems.
