Introduction
Laser crystals are solid-state materials that are used as the active medium in lasers, playing a crucial role in various semiconductor industry applications. These crystals are typically doped with rare-earth or transition metal ions, which are responsible for the laser’s emission of light. When energy is applied to the crystal, such as through optical pumping or electrical discharge, the dopant ions absorb the energy and undergo transitions between energy levels, releasing photons in the process. The properties of laser crystals, including their absorption and emission spectra, determine the characteristics of the laser, such as its wavelength, efficiency, and power output. Common laser crystals include neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG), ruby, and titanium sapphire (Ti:sapphire), each serving different applications in fields like telecommunications, medicine, defense, and scientific research.
