Ytterbium (III) Oxide

Ytterbium(III) oxide (99.9%-Yb) (REO)

Ytterbium(III) oxide is being applied to numerous fiber amplifier and fiber optic technologies. High purity Ytterbium Oxide are widely applied as a doping agent for garnet crystals in lasers a important colorant in glasses and porcelain enamel glazes.. As Ytterbium Oxide has a significantly higher emissivity in the infrared range a higher radiant intensity is obtained with Ytterbium-based payloads.

Ytterbium(III) oxide

Ytterbium(III) oxide is a chemical compound with the formula YbO. It has a melting point of 2,874 °C, and is highly sensitive to the presence of chlorine atoms in its environment. Ytterbium(III) oxide is used as an infrared optical material because it has high thermal expansion and low heat capacity. It also has fluorescence properties that are used for detection sensitivity measurements. The radiation emitted from ytterbium(III) oxide produces light emission that can be observed using microscopy studies.
