Transparent ceramics have been in the spotlight as advanced optical ceramic materials for
the last two decades, both as optically transparent materials with excellent mechanical …

The Nd: YAG transparent ceramics were fabricated by vacuum sintering. The Nd: YAG
samples were annealed at 1450° C for 20 h in air and followed by hot isostatic pressing …

Based on the exact Mie solution for spheres and several approximations known from
scattering theory (Rayleigh, Fraunhofer, Rayleigh-Gans-Debye), including the less well …

In the present work, Yb: YAG (yttrium aluminum garnet) transparent ceramics were
fabricated using monodispersed spherical Y2O3, Al2O3 powders and commercial Yb2O3 …

There is a need to investigate the possible improvements of rare earth ion-doped
transparent ceramics in terms of better optical performances for lasers, scintillators and …

Reactive sintering of YAG based ceramics is generally performed under high vacuum in
graphite-free furnaces in order to guarantee the elimination of pores and absence of any …

We show the approach in the structural and spectroscopic analysis of Yb3+-doped YAG
nanoceramics prepared using the low temperature-high pressure sintering technique …

Thermal effects in transparent laser crystals and ceramics are generally an unwanted
consequence of the pumping process: temperature gradients give rise to an unevenly …

Using the nanopowders made by a reverse co-precipitation as raw materials, neodymium
doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd: YAG) transparent ceramics were fabricated by vacuum …

This work presents the results of the preparation of polycrystalline Yb: YAG ceramics for
laser sources with dopant concentration from 0 up to 20at.% via solid state reactive sintering …
