2022, Journal of Solid State ChemistryCitation Excerpt :In the last decades researchers have been focused on transparent polycrystalline ceramics which, if compared with single crystals, allow a more uniform dopant distribution, a higher dopant concentrations and larger dimensions of the active medium, preserving an high optical quality [1–5]. Furthermore, the processes involved in the ceramics fabrication are technically easier and less expensive due mostly to the lower processing temperature required and to the shorter production time [6–11]. Yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG, Y3Al5O12) is a commonly used laser host material due to its excellent thermal and optical properties [12].
