Homegrown And World-Class: The G&H Crystal Range For Laser Manufacturers

The world was an exciting place in the 1960s – not least for what scientists were discovering about crystals: namely, that they had some remarkable properties enabling them to interact with electricity, sound, heat, and light – especially laser light.

In consequence, and since then, crystals have become indispensable for steering, switching, repolarizing, and intensifying laser beams – in other words, for controlling them in different ways to make their use possible in multiple applications.

It follows that the quality of these crystals is critical for the downstream laser component manufacturing processes that determine the performance and success of the final application.

Capability in the material science level (crystal growth) translates directly into a competitive specification at the system level – and this is where G&H’s crystals give laser manufacturers the edge.

They are some of the world’s best from a quality perspective, and they’re also the market’s most extensive range, with a huge selection of coating types. Capable of higher specs and more stable performance in acousto-optic (AO) and electro-optic (EO) components than the alternatives, they are ideal for more challenging laser applications, from ultra-violet (UV) to deep infrared (IR).
