Ceramic Laser Materials

TL;DR: Developments have included highly doped microchip lasers, ultrashort pulse lasers, novel materials such as sesquioxides, fluoride ceramic lasers, selenide ceramic lasers in the 2 to 3 μm region, composite ceramic lasers for better thermal management, and single crystal lasers derived from polycrystalline ceramics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ceramic laser materials: Past and present

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight some of the notable milestones and achievements and forecast the future in polycrystalline ceramic laser materials, including high purity powder synthesis, development in new sintering technology and novel ideas in optics and device design.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transparent ceramics for high-energy laser systems

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that transparent magnesium aluminate spinel ceramic possesses excellent thermo-optical properties, a record low absorption loss of 6πm/cm, and superior ruggedness which position it as a prime candidate for an exit window aperture for high energy laser systems, especially in hostile environments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin films and devices sputtered from a single target without additional selenization

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe CIGS films that are instead deposited by RF magnetron sputtering from a single quaternary target without any additional selenization, and demonstrate that deposition power can be varied in order to change the film morphology and improve device performance.
