Buying Holmium-doped Laser Gain Media
The most common holmium-doped medium is Hm3+:YAG, used for emission at wavelengths around 2.1 μm. It is predominantly employed in medical lasers, particularly for laser surgery due to its effective tissue interaction properties.

![]() Leader in fluoride glass and optical fiber technology Le Verre FluoréRue Gabriel Voisin Campus de Ker Lann 35170 Bruz, Brittany France | ![]() Thanks to their high rare-earth solubility (up to 100,000 ppm) and low phonon energy, LVF fluoride fibers offer dozens of active transitions, enabling a broad range of applications from visible to the mid-infrared. LVF holmium doped fibers are available as single mode fibers or double cladding fibers. LVF holmium doped fibers can be used for laser emission at visible wavelengths (549 nm) and mid-infrared wavelengths (2.95 µm, 3.92 µm). |
