Yb-Doped Potassium Gadolinium Tungstate (Yb:KGd(WO4)2) and Yb-doped Potassium Itrium Tungstate (Yb:KY(WO4)2) single crystals are the laser crystals for diode or laser pumped solid-state laser applications.
Applications:
Yb:KGW and Yb:KYW thin (100-150 µm) crystals are used as lasing materials to generate ultrashort ( 22 W) pulses. Standard pumping at 981 nm, output: 10231060 nm
Yb:KGW and Yb:KYW crystals can be used as ultrashort pulses amplifiers
Yb:KGW and Yb:KYW are one of the best materials for high power thin disk lasers.
