Abstract

(Yb_0.05Y_0.95)₂O₃ transparent ceramics were fabricated by vacuum sintering technique using high purity Y ₂O₃ powder as starting material and ZrO₂ as additive. The results indicated that the introduce of ZrO₂ can improve the transmittance of yttria ceramics greatly and the mechanism was also analyzed. 3.0 at.% ZrO₂ doped (Yb_0.05Y_0.95) ₂O₃ transparent ceramics sintered at 1800 °C for 20 h had the optimum transmittance. The microstructure is uniform and no secondary phase is observed in the ceramics with the average grain size of 15 μm. The relative density is 99.68% and the transmittance in near-infrared band is as high as 83.7% (up to 98.5% of theoretical value). The spectroscopic properties of 3.0 at.% ZrO₂ doped (Yb_0.05Y_0.95) ₂O₃ ceramics were also investigated. The absorption, emission cross-section and fluorescence lifetime have been estimated as 1.175 × 10²⁰, 1.767 × 10²⁰ cm² and 0.93 ms, respectively. All the results indicate that Yb³⁺ doped Y ₂O₃ transparent ceramic is promising laser material.
