Ti:Sapphire crystals
Titanium-doped sapphire (Ti3+:Al2O3) is a widely used transition-metal-doped laser crystal.
Ti3+ ion has a very large gain bandwidth that opens the possibility to obtain very wide wavelength tunability realized in short-pulse lasers.
To obtain crystals with good optical quality Ti3+ doping concentration should not exceed 0,25 at.%. Ti:Sapphire crystal is characterized by a short upper-state lifetime and a high saturation power.
All these properties lead to the necessity of using a strongly focused pump beam.
Main features
- Excellent thermal conductivity
- Broad gain bandwidth
- Wide range of possible pump wavelengths (typically 532 nm)
- Custom crystals available upon request
Application examples
- Mode-locked lasers with ultrashort pulses
- Multi-pass amplifiers and regenerative amplifiers
