Using the tape casting method combined with vacuum sintering and hot isostatic pressing, high-quality planar waveguide YAG/10 at.%Yb:YAG/YAG ceramics were successfully prepared. For the sample presintered at 1750°C for 30 hours and then HIPed at 1700°C for 3 hours in 200 MPa argon, the in-line transmittance reached 82.5% at 400 nm and the average grain size was ~17.1 μm. The diffusion behaviors of Yb ions across the contact boundary between the cladding YAG layer and the core Yb:YAG layer were determined by Fick's second law. Then, a 1030 nm continuous-wave (CW) Yb:YAG planar waveguide ceramic laser based on the structure of master oscillator power amplification (MOPA) was realized. After a single-pass amplification, the maximum output of the ceramic slab (60 × 10 × 1 mm 3 ) reached 1251 W and the corresponding optical-to-optical efficiency was 30.0%, which is the highest output power of a Yb:YAG planar waveguide ceramic laser to the best of our knowledge.

We report on the continuous-wave and tunable laser operation of a transparent Yb:YAG ceramic which is prepared by non-aqueous tape casting method with vacuum sintering at 1750 °C for 10 h. The Yb:YAG ceramic is dense and with excellent optical in-line transmittance characteristics. In the lasing experiment, the Yb:YAG is end-pumped by a high-brightness 974 nm diode pump in fiber core of 50 μm and numerical aperture of 0.22, which results in a maximum output power of 7.01 W and a slope efficiency of 60.2% at 1050 nm. A smooth tunable curve from 1022 nm to 1058 nm is achieved in tunable laser testing, revealing the broadband lasing spectra over 30 nm.

Transparent laser ceramics are the attractive gain medium for solid-state lasers. However, they have not been applied to the fiber lasers due to the difficulty of forming green fibers by traditional methods. In this study, a novel route combined aqueous gelcasting with capillary glass tube was designed to prepare Yb:YAG transparent ceramic fiber with a diameter of 1.0 mm and 43.0 mm in length for the first time. The slurry with high solid loading and low viscosity was smartly inhaled into the capillary glass tube to conquer the difficulty of casting. The green fibers without cracks and deformation had highly dense microstructure. The in-line transmittance of highly doped 15.0 at.% Yb:YAG transparent ceramic disc prepared from the same preparation conditions of Yb:YAG ceramic fiber was 80.0 % at 1064 nm. This study provides a novel route to prepare transparent ceramic fiber differing from extrusion processing, promoting the development of fiber laser.

Highly transparent YAG/10at.%Yb:YAG/YAG planar waveguide ceramics were fabricated by the non-aqueous tape casting and solid-state reactive sintering technology. The tapes are relatively homogeneous and the green body shows a dense structure without distinct interfaces after the treatment of debinding and cold isostatic pressing . YAG/10at.%Yb:YAG/YAG ceramics with almost full dense structure were obtained by vacuum-sintering at 1760 °C for 30 h. For the mirror-polished sample with the thickness of 3.5 mm, the In-line transmittance was measured to be 83.6% at the visual wavelength of 400 nm. The diffusion distance of the Yb 3+ ions was about 215 μm along the thickness direction of the ceramics. In the lasing experiments, the YAG/10at.%Yb:YAG/YAG planar waveguide ceramics were end-pumped by a 976 nm semiconductor diode laser and enabled efficient continuous-wave lasers, which resulted in a maximum output power of 1.6 W and a slope efficiency of 34.4% at 1030 nm.
