Abstract
Nd:LuAG transparent ceramics were fabricated by the solid-state reaction under vacuum sintering using SiO2 and MgO as sintering aids, commercial Lu2O3, Al2O3 and Nd2O3 as raw materials. The Nd doping concentration was adopted from 0 at. % to 1.3 at. %. The phase transformation and microstructure evolution of 1.3 at. % Nd:LuAG ceramics under different sintering temperature was investigated in detail. Meanwhile, the effects of Nd2O3 on the grain growth were surveyed. The results shown that when the samples were sintered at 1780â¯Â°C, the 1.3 at. % Nd:LuAG ceramic had clean gain boundary, and the transmittance of it reached 83.8% at 1064â¯nm.
