Abstract
This work aims to fabricate the Yb:LuScO3 sesquioxides transparent ceramics for use in ultrafast and ultrashort laser technology. 1 at.% Yb:LuScO3 nanopowders were fabricated using the glycine-nitrate process. ZrO(NO3)2 was selected as the precursor of ZrO2 which functions as a sintering aid. Yb:LuScO3 transparent ceramics with different ZrO2 content were fabricated by vacuum sintering at 1780°C and HIPing at 1650°C, among which the ceramic with 7 at.% ZrO2 showed the highest transmittance, reaching 81% at 2000 nm. The ceramic achieved a maximum output power of 1.5 W at 1038 nm with a slope efficiency of 34.8% and tunable wavelength range exceeding 22 nm. The results demonstrated that Yb:LuScO3 transparent ceramics can be considered as promising materials in 1 μm solid-state laser applications.
