Development of Ceramic Laser Materials
Diode pumped solid-state lasers have now been widely used in material processing, medical therapy, instrumentation, remote sensing, military and scientific researches. With the recent breakthrough on the ceramic material fabrication technology, high optical quality polycrystalline ceramics can now be fabricated which makes that the ceramic materials become a promising candidate as host of the solid-state laser gain media. With this in mind, this work aim to develop the technical know-how on the fabrication of highly efficient doped ceramic laser materials.
