Neodymium-doped yttrium lithium fluoride (Nd:YLF) is a lasing medium for arclamp-pumped and diode-pumpedsolid-state lasers. The YLF crystal (LiYF4) is naturally birefringent, and commonly-used laser transitions occur at 1047 nm and 1053 nm.It is used in Q-switched systems in part due to its relatively long fluorescence lifetime. As with s, harmonic generation is frequently employed with Q-switched Nd:YLF to produce shorter wavelengths. A common application of frequency-doubled Nd:YLF pulses is to pump ultrafast Ti:Sapphire chirped-pulse amplifiers.
