Scientists Advance the Technology of High-Speed Sintering for Optical Ceramics Written by AZoOpticsFeb 5 2021 Scientists of Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU) have advanced the technology of high-speed sintering for optical ceramics (Nd3+:YAG), i.e. active elements generating laser emission in the near-infrared wavelength range (1.06 μm) for cutting the edge microelectronics and medicine. The researchers have managed to reduce significantly the initial nanopowders consolidation period (10 - 100 times) forming a nanostructure with ensured high optical transparency of the ceramic material. A related article appears in Optical Materials. Diode-pumped microlasers based on Nd3+:YAG nanoceramics, due to their short lasing pulse duration, high peak power, and beam quality in combination with the elements small size, are relevant for the ranging, telecommunications, space technology, industry, and medicine. ....
