Caesium cadmium bromide (CsCdBr₃) is a synthetic crystalline material. It belongs to the AMX₃ group (where A=alkali metal, M=bivalent metal, X=halogen ions). As a single crystal structure doped with rare earth ions, it can be used as active laser medium. However, its hygroscopic behaviour limits its use as a laser crystal.
