The optical properties, Faraday effect and Verdet constant of ceramic terbium gallium garnet (TGG) have been measured at 1064 nm, and were found to be similar to those of single crystal TGG at room temperature. Observed optical characteristics, laser induced bulk-damage threshold and optical scattering properties of ceramic TGG were compared with those of single crystal TGG. Ceramic TGG is a promising Faraday material for high-average-power YAG lasers, Yb fiber lasers and high-peak power glass lasers for inertial fusion energy drivers.
已在1064nm波长下测量了陶瓷铽镓石榴石（TGG）的光学性质、法拉第效应和费尔德常数，发现其在室温下与单晶TGG的光学性质、法拉第效应和费尔德常数相似。将观察到的陶瓷TGG的光学特性、激光诱导体损伤阈值和光学散射特性与单晶TGG的进行了比较。陶瓷TGG是一种有前景的法拉第材料，适用于高平均功率YAG激光器、镱光纤激光器以及用于惯性聚变能源驱动器的高峰值功率玻璃激光器。
