Where to Buy Titanium-doped Laser Gain Media

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 with the Temperature Gradient Technique (TGT), with extremely low light scatter, and dislocation density less than 102 cm⁻². The TGT grown sapphire crystal is characterized by the (0001) oriented growth, additionally featuring high doping level (a490 = 4.0 cm⁻¹), large gain bandwidth, excellent thermal conductivity, high laser cross section and laser damage threshold. The tunable wavelengths that cover a broad range from 700 to 1000 nm render Ti:sapphire an excellent substitute for dye lasers in many applications such as ultrafast lasers.
