1064nm (Nd:YAG & Nd:YVO4)

1064nm light is a wavelength within the infrared spectrum. This means it is invisible to the human eye. Key properties include:

  • High Power: Nd:YAG lasers, which emit at 1064nm, are known for their high power output.
  • Deep Tissue Penetration: Due to its longer wavelength, 1064nm light can penetrate deeper into tissues compared to shorter wavelengths like visible light. This makes it useful for medical procedures that require treatment of deeper layers.
  • Low Absorption by Water: 1064nm light is less absorbed by water than shorter wavelengths. This is beneficial for applications where water content can interfere, such as laser cutting of biological tissues.

Comparison of Wavelength
Wavelength Properties Applications
