The YAG (yttrium-aluminum-garnet) laser is a solid-state laser using a YAG crystal as an amplifier. Its optical pump can be either flash lamps or laser diodes; it can function in continuous or pulse mode.
YAG lasers are used to cut metals such as titanium or stainless steel, ceramics, silicon, etc., in the aeronautical, watchmaking and electronics industries. Great cutting precision is possible. They are also used in welding and engraving, as well as in many other industrial applications.
YAG lasers can combine several pump modules in series, each consisting of a crystal strip activated by a continuous flash lamp. In continuous operation it is possible to attain a power level of 5 kW. In pulse mode, the flash lamps illuminate the amplifier at a set frequency and duration, reaching 50 J of power and an average of 500 W.
Choice will depend on intended use. Desired power will dictate using pulse or continuous function. Pumping mode (flash lamp or diode) should also be considered. Choice of crystal will determine wavelength and power range.
