Abstract |
Yttrium aluminum garnet doped with neodymium (Nd:YAG) is a commonly used material for solid state lasers. However, neodymium doped yttrium-aluminum garnet is mainly fabricated by melt-growth process. Polycrystalline YAG materials obtained by ceramic techniques path are an attractive alternative to the single crystal. YAG ceramics offer many advantages, including easy preparation, scalability to large size. Additionally, ceramic technology makes it easier to incorporate several dopant ions into the YAG structure compared to single crystal grown from the melt. |
