Fabrication, properties and laser performance of Ho:YAG transparent ceramic

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

“…The dry powders were sieved through a 200-mesh screen and calcined at 800 • C for 4 h to remove the organic components. This general process is similar to that of the previous reports [13][14][15][16][17]. Using a custom designed steelless mould, the mixed powders were dry-pressed under 100 MPa and then cold isostatically pressed under 250 MPa.…”

Preparation and characteristics of core–shell structure Y3Al5O12:Yb3+@SiO2 nanoparticles

“…Yttrium aluminum garnet Y 3 Al 5 O 12 (YAG) is an attractive laser host material because of its better thermal, chemical and mechanical properties [1,2]. Ytterbium (Yb 3+ ) doped materials are of much interest to the diode-pumped solid-state lasers due to their high quantum efficiency and no concentration quenching [3][4][5][6][7].…”

Synthesis of nanocrystalline yttria powder and fabrication of Cr,Nd:YAG transparent ceramics

“…One is solid-state reactive sintering of oxide powder mixture [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. The other way is vacuum sintering of RE:YAG powders synthesize by wet-chemical method [23][24][25][26][27][28][29].…”
