Fabrication and spectral properties of Nd3+-doped yttrium lanthanum oxide transparent ceramics

Sintering and laser behavior of composite YAG/Nd:YAG/YAG transparent ceramics

“…According to previous works, the additions of TEOS and La 2 O 3 are helpful to promote densification and decrease sintering temperature [15,20,21]. The transmittances of pure YAG ceramic with 1.0 wt% TEOS and 0.8 wt% La 2 O 3 sintered at 1750 • C for 50 h are shown in Fig.…”

Spark Plasma Sintering of an Infrared‐Transparent Y2O3–MgO Nanocomposite

“…I N recent years there have been increasing research activities in studying optically transparent ceramics such as Al 2 O 3 , 1-3 MgAl 2 O 4 , 4,5 MgO, 6 and Y 2 O 3 . [7][8][9] It has been realized that a normally translucent ceramic can be made transparent when the grain size is a small fraction of the wavelength of interest. Transparent alumina which has a rhombohedral structure is such an example and have been received much attention in the literature.…”

Effect of ZrO2 on the sinterability and spectral properties of (Yb0.05Y0.95)2O3 transparent ceramic

“…Since the first laser demonstration on Nd:YAG ceramics in 1995 [1], more and more research is focused on transparent ceramic laser materials [2,3]. In addition to Nd 3+ doped ceramic laser materials, Yb 3+ doped ceramics attracted much attention by virtue of their broad absorption and emission bandwidth and long fluorescence lifetime [4].…”
