Ce:LiSGaF (Ce:LiSrGaF₆) Laser Rods
Ce:LiSGaF (Ce:LiSrGaF₆) is a newly developed laser media suitable for tunable applications over a wavelength range of 770 to 990nm. Ce:LiSGaF is highly efficiency and capable of being pumped by a wide range of sources. Ce:LiSGF is versatile and is used across a broad range of applications, especially to configure compact solutions.

Key strengths of Ce:LiSGaF:
  • Lases (tunable) over range 720 to 840nm
  • Highly efficient - high absorption coefficients
  • Can be pumped by a wide range of sources - flashlamps, diode lasers and other lasers.
