Buying Titanium-doped Laser Gain Media

See us at SPIE Photonics West 2025 in San Francisco, January 25–30 (booth 1462)!

Titanium-doped sapphire (Ti³⁺:Al₂O₃) has a very large gain bandwidth (670–1070 nm) in combination with excellent thermal conductivity. It is used for ultrashort pulse generation and in widely wavelength-tunable lasers. Optogama offers Ti:sapphire crystals with absorption from 0.2 cm⁻¹ to 7.5 cm⁻¹ at 532 nm. We achieve a high optical quality with FOM (Figure of Merit) > 250 for low doped materials and large sizes up to 110 × 110 × 40 mm.

Shalom EO offers high quality Ti:sapphire crystals grown using Temperature Gradient Technique (TGT) with absorption from 1.0–4.0 cm^–1 @ 490 nm. Titanium-doped sapphire is one of the most prevalent laser crystals for tunable and ultrashort pulsed lasers with high gain and high power outputs.

Shalom EO’s TGT-grown Ti:sapphire crystal is characterized by the (0001) oriented growth, featuring large figure of merit, high gain, broad gain bandwidth, while also exhibiting excellent thermal conduction, large laser cross-section, and exceptional laser damage threshold. Dislocation densities less than 10² cm^–2 contributing to minimized light scatter can be obtained. The tunable wavelength range that covers a broad range from 700 nm to 1000 nm makes Ti:sapphire an excellent alternative for dye lasers in many applications such as ultrafast lasers.
