Product Description

Erbium is an element that has its chemical symbol Er and atomic number 68. Chemically it is one of the rare earth metals belonging to the group of elements known as the Lanthanides. Erbium belongs to the group of rare earth metals, it is a silvery-white soft and ductile metal which has moderate water- and air-stable though interacts slowly with water and acids. It is mostly present in the crust of the Earth, usually in combination with other rare earth metals.

Er is distinguished by its exceptional optic characteristics especially its capacity to absorb and release energy in the near infrared spectrum. This property makes erbium useful in diverse sectors, especially in telecommunication to serve in erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) to amplify optical signals in the fiber optic systems. Furthermore, erbium is used in medicine and manufacturing industry in the frames of laser applications for welding, metal cutting, and dermatological treatments meaning its relevance in the present society and technology.
