Fluoride laser nanoceramics (original) (raw)

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2012

Abstract

ABSTRACT Because of the recent technology progress in the synthesis of fluoride ceramics by so-called hot-pressing method, several cooperating research groups have produced and meticulously described various polycrystalline ceramic samples with optical characteristics similar to the properties of corresponding single crystals. Their achievements made fluoride optical materials less expensive, more diverse and easier available for the use in solid-state lasers. The present review covers studies of fluoride ceramic materials and their properties in the last fifty years. It describes the most significant results obtained by leading scientific groups and indicates the most promising directions where research of fluoride laser ceramics should proceed in near future.
