High transparency Cr,Nd:LuAG ceramics prepared with MgO additive

Thermodynamic and experimental approach of the effect of Si on the sintering of Y3NbO7

“…In fact, the presence of a solute can have an influence on densification and/or grain growth [19]. A large number of additives have been studied, such as MgO [20], HfO2, ZrO2, CeO2 [21]. One of the most cited is SiO2, which is frequently incorporated as TEOS additive, especially for the production of transparent YAG [22,23].…”

Heat‐driven Tailored for Eliminating Nd3+ Re‐clusters in Nd3+,Gd3+‐codoped SrF2 Laser Ceramic

“…Transparent ceramics that possess good mechanical performance, exhibit large in size, and contain excellent optical properties that are promising high‐power laser materials. Currently, rare earth‐doped SrF 2 transparent ceramics have been fabricated by the hot‐pressed method.…”

Single CaO accelerated densification and microstructure control of highly transparent YAG ceramic

“…Transparent ceramic material is commonly recognized as the next generation of solid‐state laser gain medium, because of its unique advantages such as shorter production cycle, better uniformity, flexibility in large size and composite structure production and ease in fabrication compared with its single crystal counterparts . With the fast development of transparent ceramic technology, various types of transparent ceramic material have been developed . Among them, transparent yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) ceramic is the mostly adopted material for solid‐state laser gain medium, thanks to its cubic structure, excellent physical and optical property, as well as its relative ease in fabrication …”

“…[6][7][8] With the fast development of transparent ceramic technology, various types of transparent ceramic material have been developed. [9][10][11] Among them, transparent yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) ceramic is the mostly adopted material for solid-state laser gain medium, thanks to its cubic structure, excellent physical and optical property, as well as its relative ease in fabrication. [12][13][14][15] It is commonly recognized that full densification is the basic requirement to obtain YAG ceramics with good optical quality.…”
