Buying Erbium-doped Laser Gain Media
Erbium-doped laser gain media include a range of optical fibers, bulk glasses, and crystalline materials like Er:YAG. These media are widely used for lasers emitting around the 1.5-μm wavelength region, particularly in telecom applications.
Making Good Purchase Decisions
RP Photonics helps you to not only to find all relevant suppliers, but also to make good purchasing decisions.
NEW: Structured Decision Process
We recommend that you apply best practice by using the following structured process: Go through the following expandable sections, complete the form and finally come to a purchase decision. You can then print that to a PDF for documenting the process.
(Various further improvements of this feature will come soon.)

![]() (4Lasers) Mokslininku str. 6B 08412 Vilnius Lithuania | ![]() Optogama offers different Er-doped laser gain media:
These are suitable for lasers emitting in the eye-safe spectral range of 1.5–1.6 µm. Phosphate glass combines a long lifetime of Er3+ upper laser level with efficient energy transfer between Yb3+ and Er3+ ions and reduced upconversion losses, thus providing efficient operation in passively Q-switched diode-pumped and flash-lump pumped lasers used in range-finders. Er/Yb:YAB is characterized by high thermal conductivity and demonstrates high average output power in CW and pulsed modes under diode-laser pumping. |
