Ytterbium Oxide also called Ytterbia, is being applied to numerous fiber amplifier and fiber optic technologies. As Ytterbium Oxide has a significantly higher emissivity in the infrared range than Magnesium Oxide, a higher radiant intensity is obtained with Ytterbium-based payloads in comparison to those commonly based on Magnesium/Teflon/Viton (MTV). High purity Ytterbium Oxide are widely applied as a doping agent for garnet crystals in lasers and important colourant in glasses and porcelain enamel glazes.
