Yb:YAG, i.e., Ytterbium‑doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet, is characterized by high quantum efficiency, low thermal load, and a broad pump absorption bandwidth. It is compatible with various laser operating modes, including high‑power continuous wave, ultrashort pulse, frequency doubling, and mode locking, making it one of the core active media in the field of high‑power solid‑state lasers.
