Appropriate amount of MgO adding can restrict the agglomeration and reduce the particle size of Yb:YAG powders. When the MgO content was 0.04wt%, well-dispersed Yb:YAG powders with ellipsoidal particles of less than 100 nm diameter were obtained. The experimental results showed the valence variation of doping ion Yb〉 would not appear when adding MgO as sintering additives, so ceramics showed colorless transparent instead of green due to Yb^2+ color center using traditional SiO2 as additives. The transmission of the sintered Yb:YAG ceramics can reach 80.6% even without annealing. Ceramic morphology showed that the grains had uniform-distribution with the size of 10 iam or so, and no impurity and pore existed in the grain boundary and crystalline while using optimal sintering conditions.展开更多

DTA-TG,XRD,SEM and IR spectrum analyzers were used to investigate the structure and morphology of the precursor and the sintered poly-crystal. The results indicates that the weight loss is about 40% as the powder calcined at 1200 ℃,and well-crystallized YAG powder is obtained with particle size in the range of 100~150 nm. The SEM analysis of the fracture surface of the sintered body shows that the grain size is about 1~2 μm and the pore volume is very low. The ceramics body with favorite optical properties is obtained by sintering at 1700 ℃.展开更多

The spectral properties and thermal parameters of these Yb doped cubic phase transparent ceramics are compared, and their different and potential applications are also analysed. The absorption cross-section and the emission cross-section of these ceramics are measured and calculated. The essential properties of these materials especially for the rep-rated pulsed high-energy diode-pumped solid-state lasers are investigated. The results show that Yb doped YAG, YSAG and YaLaO3 are all suitable materials used for diode-pumped solid-state lasers.展开更多
