Passive components
Laser cavity materials	S7010N and S7005 samarium-doped glasses block the 1.06 (µm wavelength and UV pump light from neodymium lasing elements, such as Nd:YAG or Nd:glass rods and slabs. Two samarium-doped silicate glasses are offered: S7010N (10% doping) is recommended for most applications, while S7005 (5% doping) is usually reserved for elements thicker than 6 mm. S7000, a clear, cerium-doped silicate glass, is also available to serve as a UV cut-off material.
