Neodymium doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Nd:YAG) is the most commonly employed solid state lasing medium for material processing applications. Nd:YAG has relatively good optical absorption and conversion efficiency, low lasing threshold and good thermal dissipation for high power operation.

Acousto-Optic Q-switches are used to generate short duration, high-peak power pulses from continuous wave (CW) Nd:YAG lasers. A Q-switched laser can perform many applications which would be impossible for a CW laser system.
