Sapphire/Nd:YAG composite by pulsed electric current bonding for high-average-power lasers

As a new bonding technique for high-power laser optics, pulsed electric current bonding (PECB) of sapphire and Nd:YAG ceramics was demonstrated. The optical properties of the composite were measured, and its microstructure at the interface and laser performance was analyzed. The optical ...
