KnowraNd:YAG laserLinked fromLinked fromThe 8 pages that link to Nd:YAG laser, each with the reason it gives.All 8Broader topic 3Compared with 5YttriumBroader topic: This laser is a major application of a yttrium-containing crystal.ErbiumCompared with: Unlike erbium lasers, it emits at a wavelength suited to different materials and applications.Excimer laserCompared with: Unlike an excimer laser, it generates light from an excited solid crystal.NeodymiumBroader topic: Neodymium ions provide the laser transitions that generate its widely used infrared output.Ruby laserCompared with: Nd:YAG lasers generally offer more efficient operation and greater versatility than ruby lasers.HolmiumCompared with: It is a widely used rare-earth laser with a different wavelength and clinical profile from holmium:YAG.Solid-state laserBroader topic: It is a widely used example of a crystal laser with a four-level neodymium transition.Carbon-dioxide laserCompared with: Its shorter wavelength couples differently to metals and optics than carbon-dioxide output.
