The term YAG laser is usually used for solid-state lasers[12] based on neodymium-doped[13] YAG (Nd:YAG, more precisely Nd3+:YAG). However, there are other rare-earth-doped[14] YAG crystals[15], e.g. with ytterbium[16], erbium[17], thulium[18] or holmium doping (see below).

YAG is the acronym for yttrium aluminum garnet (Y3Al5O12), a synthetic crystal material which became popular in the form of laser crystals[19] in the 1960s. Yttrium ions in YAG can be replaced with laser-active rare earth ions without strongly affecting the lattice structure because these ions have a similar size. Generally, YAG is ...
