Problems solved by technology

[0004] It can be seen from above that Yb 3+ 、Er 3+ 、Tm 3+ Equally doped YAG crystals are very important laser working materials, but the current rare earth ion-doped YAG crystals are mainly prepared by the pulling method, which has the disadvantages of high cost, complicated process, and slow speed; Difficult to increase laser output power due to size limitation
Although the laser glass doped with rare earth ions is low in cost and can be made large in size, so that the output power can be increased, it is difficult to compare with crystal in terms of thermal conductivity, laser oscillation threshold, and repetition times. The threshold is more than ten times larger than that of YAG single crystal, so its application is also greatly limited

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a rare earth ion-doped glass-ceramic, in particular to a rare-earth ion-doped YAG glass-ceramic and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] At present, solid-state lasers are widely used in military, communication, industry, medical and other fields. Its working material is mainly crystal and glass. Rare earth ion-doped YAG crystals (RE:YAG) have been widely used. The matrix YAG (yttrium aluminum garnet) is the abbreviation of yttrium aluminum garnet, and the molecular formula is Y 3 Al 5 o 12 . YAG crystal has good mechanical strength, transparency, chemical stability and thermal conductivity, and can provide a good crystal field environment for active ions. YAG crystal is a very good host material that can be doped with rare earth ions; and rare earth ion doping The threshold value of laser oscillation generated by the advanced YAG laser is low, so the laser can be output continuously.
