PITTSBURGH, Feb. 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IIVI Incorporated (Nasdaq: IIVI), a leader in engineered materials and laser optics, today announced the introduction of its ceramic YAG (yttrium aluminum garnet) platform for solid-state lasers and optical components.

Key Points: 
  • PITTSBURGH, Feb. 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IIVI Incorporated (Nasdaq: IIVI), a leader in engineered materials and laser optics, today announced the introduction of its ceramic YAG (yttrium aluminum garnet) platform for solid-state lasers and optical components.
  • II-VIs new ceramic YAG is based on a proprietary production process that is more scalable than crystalline YAG.
  • Ceramic YAG is ideal for optical windows, and II-VIs proprietary ceramic-doping process achieves very high doping uniformity and repeatability, enabling solid-state laser materials such as neodymium-doped YAG for the gain medium and chromium-doped YAG for the Q-switch.
  • Unlike crystalline YAG, ceramic YAG enables us to scale production to meet customer demands while maintaining very tight tolerances in doping uniformity, enhancing the competitiveness of solid-state lasers in long-range automotive LiDAR.
