In this review, we present our recent research progress at the Naval Research Laboratory in the development of highly transparent and rugged ceramic window materials such as MgAl2O4 spinel and β-SiC; high-power solid-state laser gain materials based on sesquioxide such as Yb(3+):Y2O3, Yb(3+):Lu2O3, and Ho(3+):Lu2O3; and composite ceramics in the application for high-energy lasers. Various powder synthesis/purification methods and powder post-process techniques necessary to create high-purity powders are described. Ceramic fabrication processes and chemical, morphological, and optical properties of the ceramics developed at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) are highlighted. We also report high-efficiency lasing from a hot-pressed rare-earth sesquioxide single layer and composite ceramics made from coprecipitated powder.
在本综述中，我们展示了海军研究实验室在以下方面的最新研究进展：开发高透明度且坚固的陶瓷窗口材料，如MgAl2O4尖晶石和β-SiC；基于三氧化物的高功率固态激光增益材料，如Yb(3+):Y2O3、Yb(3+):Lu2O3和Ho(3+):Lu2O3；以及用于高能激光器的复合陶瓷。描述了制备高纯度粉末所需的各种粉末合成/纯化方法和粉末后处理技术。重点介绍了海军研究实验室（NRL）开发的陶瓷的制造工艺以及化学、形态和光学性质。我们还报告了热压稀土三氧化物单层和由共沉淀粉末制成的复合陶瓷的高效激光发射。
