RUBY RODS
Ruby laser material combines excellent physical
and optical properties with ideal laser performance
characteristics. The thermal conductivity of the
aluminium oxide host is superior to all other solid
state laser host. It is very hard, chemically inert,
and can be fabricated and polished to demanding
specifications.
Commercial lamps effectively pump Ruby's broad
absorption bands to produce a 694.3 nm output,
characterised by a long fluorescent lifetime and
large energy storage and gain.
Applications
„h High - power Q - switched systems, capable of creating the energy densities needed to
generate Thomson scattering in plasma diagnostics.
„h High - brightness holographic camera systems with long coherent length.
„h High - power systems useful for frequency doubling into the UV spectrum.
„h Laser metal working systems capable of drilling holes in hard materials.
„h Medical laser systems used for cosmetic dermatology and tattoo removal.
