Abstract:
Optical ceramics have solved recognized and important issues related to the fabrication of single-crystals. In the last decade, transparent ceramics have been produced in large sizes with optical and mechanical performance exceeding that of single-crystals. In particular, combined with the ability to control doping profiles, these materials offer new potentials to efficient laser designs and power scaling. In this talk, we will discuss specific aspects of this new paradigm in solid-state laser engineering and touch upon transparent ceramic applications for nuclear detectors.
