What Does YAG Stand For?

YAG stands for Yttrium Aluminum Garnet

YAG, or Yttrium Aluminum Garnet, is a synthetic crystalline material commonly used in laser technology, optics, and solid-state lighting applications. Its unique properties, including high thermal conductivity, stability, and efficiency in laser generation, make it ideal for various applications such as laser gain media in high-powered and solid-state lasers, as well as in solid-state lighting and medical devices. YAG crystals can be doped with different ions, such as neodymium or ytterbium, to enhance their optical properties and broaden their utility in advanced technology sectors.
