Notes:
1. To request or order a finished crystal, please specify the above-listed specifications. For most applications, only the following details are required:
1) Nd doping concentration; 2) Size; 3) Surface finish; 4) Coating.
2. For special requirements, please provide a detailed specification for evaluation and production.
Description of Diffusion Bonded Crystals
Diffusion bonded crystals (DBC) consist of two, three or more segments with different doping levels or compositions. They typically include a laser crystal and one or two undoped crystals. The segments are joined by optical contact and subsequently fused at elevated temperatures.
Applications of Diffusion Bonded Crystals
In laser technology, monolithic crystal structures are produced that meet defined optical criteria and display measured thermal conductivity. They are used in high-power lasers.
They are employed in electronics for the manufacture of piezoelectric sensors.
They are used in the manufacture of X‑ray optics.
