Fabrication and laser performance of polycrystal and single crystal Nd:YAG by advanced ceramic processing

We report the first demonstration of polycrystalline, Nd-doped YAG ceramics with almost perfect pore-free structure and Nd-doped single crystal by advanced ceramic processing. We obtain optical slope efficiencies of 57% with these microchip ceramics lasers.
