Site Sponsored by VLOC is a recognized leader in the growth and manufacture of laser crystals, materials and optical components for the solid state laser market. Here you will find information regarding Lightweight Optics, Thin Film Coatings, Laser Optics, Laser Crystals, Waveplates, YAG Crystals. Featured Product: KTP & KTA
Laser Crystals  VLOC starts with qualified raw materials and creates both nonlinear and gain materials to service the laser industry. Our Nd:YAG facility is in a dedicated building with features designed specially for this purpose, including in-depth electrical power backup, facility and furnace temperature control, and characterization laboratory. This facility, already producing the finest Nd:YAG available, has adequate room for years of expansion. Our Fluorides growth department produces a variety of gain materials covering the UV to the mid-IR, including Cr:LiSAF, Ce:LiSAF, Cr:LiSGaF and Nd:YLF. A section of our new facility has been specially designed and dedicated to fluoride growth, characterization and fabrication. Gain Crystals Non-Linear Materials Crystal Fabrication

CLEO (booth #1522)
May 18-20, 2010
Delicate and valuable crystals can be oriented and cut within a few arc minutes' accuracy using several X-ray diffraction units, Nikon autocollimators, custom polarimeters, and diamond wire saws in conjunction with proprietary tooling. Small-aperture interferometers at 0.6328, 0.860, and 1.064 micron wavelengths verify final optical transmission.
Skills in optical contacting and multi-wavelength coatings, combined with our crystal growth and electro-optic design abilities, are evident in these assemblies. We contact-bond various crystals in precise orientations within a single tiny unit to produce MCA's that enable generation of diode-pumped cw and pulsed laser light throughout the ultraviolet, visible and infrared spectrum.
