Holmium oxide

The primary uses of holmium oxide are:
1. Used as additive of metal halide lamp.
2. Used as additive of yttrium iron or yttrium aluminum garnet;
3. When used as yttrium iron aluminum garnet (Ho: YAG), it can emit 2 μ m laser. The human body has a high absorption rate of 2 μ m laser, which is almost three orders of magnitude higher than that of HD: yag0. Therefore, when the Ho: YAG laser is used for medical operation, not only the operation power and accuracy can be improved, but also the thermal damage area can be reduced to a smaller extent. The free beam of HO 2 crystal can eliminate fat without excessive heat, and then reduce the heat damage caused by health arrangement. It is reported that the treatment of glaucoma with nano HO 2 laser in the United States can reduce the pain of surgery.
4. The use of holmium oxide doped fiber can produce fiber lasers, fiber amplifiers, fiber sensors and other optical communication equipment, which will play a more important role in the rapid development of fiber communication today.
