Er-Yb: Glass+Co:spinel

The microchip composite component, especially in the form of Er-Yb: Glass +Co: Spinel passively q-switched microchips have been used for 1.5um lasers in remote sensing, ranging and imaging applications due to their compact size and the incorporation of both the lasing material and q-switch into a monolithic element. The approach minimizes system complexity and system size, and maximizes efficiency. The Glass+Er-Yb: Glass is available in two-segment configurations with the optional inclusion of additional undoped Glass part.
