Yb:YAG (Ytterbium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) is one of the most promising laser-active materials with a large absorption bandwidth and typical
emission at 1030 nm. Yb:YAG is more suitable for high power diode-pumped lasers than the traditional Nd-doped systems. The broad absorption band
enables Yb:YAG to maintain uninterrupted pump efficiency across the
typical thermal shift of diode output.

Yb:YAG's advantage is a wide pump band and an excellent emission
cross section. It is ideal for diode pumping. The broad absorption band
enables Yb:YAG to maintain uninterrupted pump efficiency across the
typical thermal shift of diode output. High efficiency means a
relatively small dimension Yb:YAG laser crystal will produce high power
output. Based on the YAG host crystal, Yb:YAG can be quickly integrated
into the laser design process.

Ytterbium Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Yb:YAG) is more suitable for diode-pumping than the traditional Nd-doped laser crystal. Compared with the commonly used Nd:YAG, Yb:YAG has the following advantages: three to four times lower thermal loading per unit pump power and much larger absorption bandwidth to reduce thermal management requirements for diode lasers, longer upper-laser level lifetime.

A wave plate, also called a phase retarder, is an optical device that changes the polarization state of light by generating an optical path difference (or phase difference) between two mutually orthogonal polarization components. When the incident light passes through wave plates with different types of parameter, the exit light is different, which may be linearly polarized light, elliptically polarized light, circularly polarized light, etc.

Pure LiNbO3 (LN) is a good candidate for various optical devices, but

Waveplates (retardation plates or phase shifters) are made from
optical materials with precise thickness such as quartz, calcite or mica, which exhibit birefringence. The velocities of the
extraordinary and ordinary rays through the birefringent materials vary
inversely with their refractive indices. The difference in velocities
gives rise to a phase difference when the two beams recombine.

RTP (Rubidium Titanyl Phosphate - RbTiOPO4) is a very desirable crystal material for E-O modulators and Q-switches. It has advantages of higher damage threshold (about 1.8 times that of KTP), high resistivity, high repetition rate, no hygroscopic or piezoelectric effect. As biaxial crystals, RTP’s natural birefringence needs to be compensated by use of two crystal rods specially oriented so that beam passes along the X-direction or Y-direction.

Polarizer is a kind of optical filter
where the light transmission depends strongly on the polarization
state.
Normally, light with linear polarization in a certain direction is
passed, and light polarized in an orthogonal direction is either
absorbed or propagated to a different direction.For other directions of linear polarization with an angle θ against the“passing”direction, the transmission exhibits a cos2 θ
dependence.
That can be understood by considering that linear polarization state as a
linear superposition of the "passing”and the“blocked”state.Most polarizers act

Phase retardation plates, or waveplates, are polarizing
optics used to manipulate the polarization state of the transmitting
light without attenuating, deviating, or displacing the light. The
working principle of the plate is to utilize
the birefringence of certain materials which separates the incident
light beam into two beams along two orthogonal optical axes within
the medium. The phase retardation between the two beams of the incident light contributes to changes in the
polarization state.

Basically all Pockels cell drivers are made based on
solid-state electronic technology, using high voltage transistors such
as MOSFETs.
Multiple high voltage transistors may have to be stacked, taking care to
achieve an even distribution of voltage across those.
Instead of using some heavily isolated floating gate drive circuitry for
