Yttrium aluminium oxide YAl03 (YAP)is an attractive laser host for erbium ions due to its natural birefringence combined with good thermal and mechanical properties similar to those of YAG.
Er:YAP crystals with high doping concentration of Er3+ions are typically used for lasing at 2,73 microns.
Low-doped Er:YAP laser crystals are used for of the eye-safe radiation at 1,66 microns by in-band pumping with semiconductor laser diodes at 1,5 microns.The advantage of such a scheme is low thermal load corresponding to low quantum
defect.
