I am working on a Intel Science Fair project, my topic, not surprisingly is Lasers and I am working on Violet LED pumping on Chromium doped laser mediums. I really am in need of CHT: YAG for comparison to Alexandrite. I need something that can have crystals 2x2x3mm cut out of it so that could be rods or boules. Any help in finding this material would be a great help. I have a scientist at Continuum helping me with the cutting and polishing of the crystals but I really need the material. Please, if you have any CHT YAG or Alexandrite, let me know and I may end up buying it from you!
Also, any input on the project would be appreciated!
Thanks a lot!
