Erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet or Er:YAG crystals is an excellent laser crystal that emits laser light of 2.94 μm, this wavelength holds the distinction of being the most absorbable by water among all existing wavelengths and is considered an efficient surface-cutting laser. The 2.94μm wavelength is an eye-safe wavelength, which renders Er:YAG crystals suitable for medical applications such as dental, orthopedics, etc.
