The ESR results indicate that the polycrystalline ceramic Nd：YAG has barely native defects and impurity ions localization defects, compared to an Nd：YAG crystal with the same Nd doping concentration, due to its density structure by sintering in a vacuum pure raw material and additives during the fabrication. It may conclude that the high quality ceramic Nd：YAG may have greater ability on optical characteristic, mechanical performance, and laser damage than that of the crystals, which is a promising candidate to use on laser diode-pumped solid-state lasers.展开更多
文摘In this Letter, ceramic Nd：YAG is charactrizeby electron spin resonance （ESR） measurements. The ESR results indicate that the polycrystalline ceramic Nd：YAG has barely native defects and impurity ions localization defects, compared to an Nd：YAG crystal with the same Nd doping concentration, due to its density structure by sintering in a vacuum pure raw material and additives during the fabrication. It may conclude that the high quality ceramic Nd：YAG may have greater ability on optical characteristic, mechanical performance, and laser damage than that of the crystals, which is a promising candidate to use on laser diode-pumped solid-state lasers.
