Abstract

Nd:YAG transparent ceramics were fabricated by a reactive sintering method under vacuum using SiO₂, MgO and compound additives (SiO₂ and MgO) as sintering aids. The effects of SiO₂ and MgO on the microstructure and sintering process of Nd:YAG ceramics were studied. High quality Nd:YAG ceramics with compound sintering aids obtained by vacuum sintering at 1780 °C are composed of grains of the size ∼10 μm, and their transmittance is 82% at 400 nm. It was found the absorption coefficient of 1.0 mol% Nd:YAG ceramic was 8.6 cm^-1 at 808 nm and its absorption cross section was calculated to be 6.26 × 10^-20 cm².
