FAQs:
  • What is the difference between a ruby rod and a sapphire rod?
    Both are based on single crystal aluminum oxide, but ruby rods contain chromium dopants, giving them a red color and laser gain properties, while sapphire rods are undoped and used for optical windows and structural components.
  • Are ruby rods suitable for laser applications?
    Yes, ruby rods are classic solid-state laser gain media and are commonly used in pulsed laser systems and research applications.
  • Can you supply ruby rods with non-polished surfaces?
    Yes, polished, fine-ground, and as-grown surface finishes are available depending on the application requirements.
