Abstract Sesquioxide ceramics (Y 2 O 3, Lu 2 O 3 and Sc 2 O 3) along with their solid
solutions show great potential as hosts for solid-state laser gain materials due to their great …

Ceramic laser materials have come a long way since the first demonstration of lasing in
1964. Improvements in powder synthesis and ceramic sintering as well as novel ideas have …

Recently, 100KW output power from YAG ceramic laser system has been demonstrated. It is
a remarkable achievement considering that only a few milli-watt power was observed from …

Until recently, ceramic materials were considered unsuitable for optics due to the numerous
scattering sources, such as grain boundaries and residual pores. However, in the 1990s the …

Structural, optical, and spectroscopic properties of novel Tm^ 3+: Lu_2O_3 ceramics are
studied. The average grain size is determined to be~ 0.54-0.56 μm. The absorption spectra …

Abstract In this work, 5at.% Yb: Lu2O3 transparent ceramics were air‐annealed at different
temperatures to eliminate oxygen vacancies for laser performance improvement. The …

Abstract High‐efficiency Yb: Y2O3 laser ceramics were fabricated using the vacuum‐
sintering plus hot isostatic pressing (HIP) without sintering additives. High‐purity well …

Highly transparent X 2 O 3 sesquioxide ceramics were obtained from a solid solution of five
different oxides (Lu 2 O 3, Y 2 O 3, Yb 2 O 3, Gd 2 O 3, and Dy 2 O 3), mixed in an equal …

Abstract In this article, 5 at.% Yb: Lu2O3 transparent ceramics were fabricated by vacuum
sintering combined with hot isostatic pressing (HIP) posttreatment using co‐precipitated …

A comparative analysis of sintering and grain growth processes of lutetium oxide and
lutetium-yttrium-lanthanum oxides solid solutions, as well as optical properties …
