The drawing and table below summarize standard geometric and optical quality specifications for our material and laser rods

The table shows selected lengths and diamters only. Any size rod up to 15mm diameter and 250mm in length can readily be made. Different geometries (such as slabs) are also available

For more sizes and end finish options, download our Nd:YAG Product Brochure
