Popis:	Many industrial applications require high beam quality, compact, reliable and low cost lasers. Microchip lasers combine all these advantages. Indeed, solid state Nd:YAG microchips have the beam quality of solid state lasers. Thanks to a monolithic design avoiding any alignment of the laser cavity elements (saturable absorber and mirrors), microchips are compact, reliable and can be produced in large quantities. They can be integrated into micro-systems to make microchip laser sources.
