Monodispersed yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) crystallites with welldeveloped and controllable crystal faces were obtained by the solvothermal method. The effects of temperature, time, and solvents on the phase formation, morphology, and particle size distribution were investigated. YAG can be obtained at relatively lower temperature in water, while higher temperature and longer time are necessary with increasing amount of ethanol in the solvent. The presence of {100} faces is favored at lower temperature while the terminating faces are {110} and {211} at higher temperature in water and water− ethanol mixture (volume ratio = 1:1). Moreover, solvent exhibits a significant influence on the reaction process, luminescence intensity, and decay time of YAG:Ce crystallites. This study presents a novel way to obtain YAG crystallites with well-developed terminating faces which will be promising in the solid-state lighting and will lay a foundation to study the grain boundaries formed in the process of YAG transparent ceramics sintering.

“…The much lower temperature hydrothermal growth of Yb:Lu 2 O 3 [112,116] and other sesquioxide materials results in the minimization of defects, impurities, crystal strain, color-centers, and inhomogeneities, all of which are important issues in melt-based growth methods. Comprehensive reviews of the hydrothermal growth process and its application to the development of new and promising laser crystals have recently been published [116][117][118]. In earlier work [104] we presented the first room temperature absorption cross-section data for hydrothermally-grown Yb:Lu 2 O 3 , as well as the emission cross-sections determined by the method of reciprocity.…”

Ultrafast laser physics continues to advance at a rapid pace, driven primarily by the development of more powerful and sophisticated diode-pumping sources, the development of new laser materials, and new laser and amplification approaches such as optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification. The rapid development of high average power cryogenic laser sources seems likely to play a crucial role in realizing the long-sought goal of powerful ultrafast sources that offer concomitant high peak and average powers. In this paper, we review the optical, thermal, thermo-optic and laser parameters important to cryogenic laser technology, recently achieved laser and laser materials progress, the progression of cryogenic laser technology, discuss the importance of cryogenic laser technology in ultrafast laser science, and what advances are likely to be achieved in the near-future.

“…As a result, limited work has been performed with bulk hydrothermal epitaxy, with most of it focusing on the piezoelectric family that is isostructural with α-quartz or the Y 3 Al 5 O 12 (YAG) family for laser materials. For example, GaAsO 4 is grown on GaPO 4 and AlPO 4 (berlinite), and AlPO 4 is grown on α-quartz (SiO 2 ). − YAG is used as a surrogate seed for Lu 3 Al 5 O 12 and a variety of doped YAG layers. , Growing doped materials on other undoped seeds (e.g., Er:Sc 2 O 3 on Sc 2 O 3 ) is also reported .

Large, high-quality single-crystal seeds are required for the orientationcontrolled growth of iteratively larger high-quality bulk crystals, but seeds matching the desired growth material, such as UO 2 , are not always available. Refractory UO 2 is hydrothermally grown on CaF 2 , ThO 2 , UO 2 , and YSZ seeds, and the results are analyzed visually, with X-ray fluorescence, scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, μ-Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy-electron backscattering diffraction. The interfaces of the heteroepitaxial growths are complex as the CaF 2 and YSZ partially back-dissolve to produce intermediate phases up to 100 μm thick that are chemically distinct from both the seed and the final UO 2 growth. The CaF 2 intermediate phase is a reasonable match to the high-pressure CaU 3 O 8+x phase, and the YSZ intermediate phase seems to be highly defective UO 2 . Despite the intermediate phases on the non-native substrates, the final UO 2 growth is of high quality and of the same orientation as the original seed, except when YSZ is used. The seeds with the highest quantity of growth have the poorest quality, likely a result of non-optimal growth conditions, which are also discussed. The final UO 2 layer in all cases is a viable native seed for future growths, dramatically expediting seed production when compared to the traditional iterative regrowth procedure.
