Zusammenfassung:Practical laser generation from polycrystalline ceramic materials has become available; furthermore, it is expected that ceramic laser technology will completely surpass the conventional glass and single crystal laser technologies in the future. In this work development of high quality ceramic laser materials was successfully done by control on macro-, micro- and nano-structural refinement. Transparency and optical homogeneity were confirmed to be high enough for the development of high power laser generation. In addition optical defects such as residual pores and atomic defects were hardly observed in the fabricated ceramic laser elements.
