Abstract:

Highly transparent yttrium aluminium garnet ceramics doped with holmium or ytterbium or neodymium are synthesised. The ceramics were made of a mixture of nanopowders synthesised by laser ablation. The structural and spectral characteristics of ceramics are studied. In the samples with holmium Ho3+ and neodymium Nd3+ ions, lasing was achieved with a slope efficiency of 40\% and 35.3\%, respectively; the maximum laser power exceeded 4 W. The internal absorption and scattering losses for 1\% Nd : YAG ceramics are estimated to be 1.6 x 10(-2) cm(-1).
