Buying Laser Gain Media
There is a wide range of laser gain media, including laser crystals, glasses, ceramics, gases, and liquids. Most modern lasers are based on solid-state gain media, available in forms such as bulk crystals and active optical fibers.
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.)
