Ceramic solid state lasers

Modern ceramic technology made it possible to develop laser-quality and scalable full-transparent ceramic materials from nano-crystalline powder. The optical quality of ceramic materials is growing step-by-step. We have developed a modern technique for the laser quality ceramic materials. The Nd:YAG ceramics is already recognized as the real laser material for industrial lasers. They demonstrated high efficiency (optical-to-optical efficiency of 60%) and high power (1.7 kW) in cw mode.
