Application

Source of gamma rays

^: Yb is also used in nuclear medicine

Doping of stainless steel

: Ytterbium can also be used as a dopant to help improve the grain refinement, strength, and other mechanical properties of stainless steel. Some ytterbium alloys have rarely been used in dentistry.

Ytterbium as dopant of active media

: Ytterbium is used as dopant in optical materials, usually in the form of ions in active laser media. Several powerful double-clad fiber lasers and disk lasers use Yb³⁺ ions as dopant at concentration of several atomic percent. Glasses (optical fibers), crystals and ceramics with Yb³⁺ are used. Ytterbium is often used as a doping material (as Yb³⁺) for high power and wavelength-tunable solid state lasers
