Abstract
The 8.3 at.% Yb-doped yttrium-scandium-aluminum garnet (YSAG) ceramics were fabricated by a modified reverse co-precipitation method followed by uniaxial and cold isostatic pressing, annealing in air and high-temperature sintering in vacuum. Spectroscopic and lasing properties were investigated in dependence on Y/Sc/Al ratio in ceramic composition. Optical transmission of Yb:YSAG ceramics in visible and near-infrared spectral range exceeds 80% that indicates a high quality of the Yb:YSAG samples. Among all the ceramics, the Y2.35Yb0.25Sc1.00Al4.40O12 composition demonstrates the best lasing performance and the highest slope efficiency up to 75 %.
期刊介绍:
The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, an independent journal with a global perspective and strong clinical focus, features original clinical research, expert reviews, news, and opinion pieces in each monthly issue. Covering topics like diabetes, obesity, nutrition, and more, the journal provides insights into clinical advances and practice-changing research worldwide. It welcomes original research advocating change or shedding light on clinical practice, as well as informative reviews on related topics, especially those with global health importance and relevance to low-income and middle-income countries. The journal publishes various content types, including Articles, Reviews, Comments, Correspondence, Health Policy, and Personal Views, along with Series and Commissions aiming to drive positive change in clinical practice and health policy in diabetes and endocrinology.
