Under DevelopmentYAG Ceramics (Transparent ceramics) for Laser

Yttrium Aluminum Garnet

YAG, an abbreviation of Yttrium Aluminum Garnet, is a garnet-structured crystal composed of a composite oxide of yttrium and aluminum.
YAG ceramics (polycrystalline YAG) have many advantages over single crystal YAG, and are expected to find wide application in solid state lasers.
In general, because of the tendency of light-scattering sources to remain in ceramics, it is more difficult to achieve transparency than with single crystals. However, JX Advanced Metals has used a proprietary manufacturing method to successfully make YAG ceramics with high transparency equivalent to that of single crystals.
