Abstract
The 8.3(3) at. % ytterbium-doped yttrium scandium aluminum garnet (Yb:YSAG) ceramics exhibit a high level of transmittance (over 80 %) in the infrared (IR) range, indicating its superior quality comparable to Yb:YAG single crystals. The Y2.35Yb0.25Sc1.00Al4.40O12 laser ceramic sample achieved a maximum output power of 2.4 W at an absorbed pump power of 8.1 W at 325 K. In comparison, the 1 at.% Yb: YAG single crystal achieved a maximum output power of 3.9 W at an absorbed pump power of 13.6 W at 325 K. The laser radiation is linearly polarized, with a 90-degree rotation in polarization observed in only one ceramic sample at higher temperatures.
期刊介绍:
Optical Materials has an open access mirror journal Optical Materials: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The purpose of Optical Materials is to provide a means of communication and technology transfer between researchers who are interested in materials for potential device applications. The journal publishes original papers and review articles on the design, synthesis, characterisation and applications of optical materials.
OPTICAL MATERIALS focuses on:
• Optical Properties of Material Systems;
• The Materials Aspects of Optical Phenomena;
• The Materials Aspects of Devices and Applications.
Authors can submit separate research elements describing their data to Data in Brief and methods to Methods X.
