Abstract

A solid-state laser material based on highly transparent Yb3+-doped scandia (Sc2O3) ceramic was developed using nanocrystalline technology and the nonpress vacuum sintering method. Continuous wave laser oscillations were obtained at around 1041 and 1094 nm using a 2.5 at. % Yb3+:Sc2O3 ceramic plate. Broadband lasing spectra were observed.
