The gemstone built to shoot lasers (YAG)

 

Engineers take a YAG crystal, remove a tiny fraction of the Yttrium atoms, and replace them with Neodymium to create a laser. But what does an Nd:YAG laser actually do? Because the Yttrium "engine block" is so structurally rigid, this crystal can handle an absolutely crazy amount of thermal energy without shattering. When you pump it with high intensity light, the Neodymium atoms get excited and fire off a concentrated beam of infrared radiation. That beam is so powerful and precise that it is the backbone of modern heavy industry and medicine. If you go to a clinic to have a tattoo blasted off your skin, the machine they use is an Nd:YAG laser. If you watch a robotic arm slice through a half-inch sheet of solid titanium in an automotive factory, that is an Nd:YAG laser.
