Abstract

Highly transparent ytterbium-doped yttria (Yb:Y₂O₃-ZM) ceramic was demonstrated with ZrO₂-MgO as double-sintering aid by using a pressureless sintering method for the first time. The Yb:Y₂O₃-ZM ceramics wafer with 17mm in diameter and 2.5mm thick had an average grain size of 25μm and a transmittance at 2000nm of as high as 81.5%, which is near theoretical value of the material. In contrast, it was difficult to obtain transparent ytterbium-doped yttria ceramics with ZrO₂ or MgO as single aid. The product of emission cross section and lifetime (στ) was 8.94×10^-24cm²s, which means that the Yb:Y₂O₃-ZM transparent ceramics would be one promising laser material.
