Er:YAG
Er:YAG crystal is an excellent laser crystal which lasers at 2.94μm. This wavelength is the most readily absorbed into water and hydroxylapatite of all existing wavelengths and is considered a highly surface cutting laser. It is a well known material for medical applications.
Advantages:
1. High slope efficiency
2. Operate well at room temperature
3. Operate in a relatively eye-safe wavelength range
