Optical element, especially laser slab and process for preparing thereof
The present invention relates to an optical element, especially a laser slab for generation of laser emission with suppression of the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE), wherein the optical element consists of a monocrystalline core and an optical ceramic coating without apparent optical interface on the connecting surfaces of the core and the coating. The ceramic coating is created directly on the monocrystalline core without the use of connection techniques. The single crystal is made of high-temperature oxides with garnet structure (YAG, LuAG, YSG, GGG) with a suitable dopant and the ceramic coating is of a corresponding type of a base material being doped with the same and/or different type of a doping ion. Process for preparing such a laser slab consists in a selection of a single crystal homogeneous section, from which a core body is produced. The core body is then put into a compacted layer of a powder precursor of the surface ceramic layer. Subsequently, isostatic pressing by pressure in the range of 50 to 200 MPa is carried out. The blank is then vacuum sintered at the rate of temperature onset in an amount of 400 degC/hour for a period of 6 hours at a temperature in the range of 1600 to 1750 degC. The sintering is followed up with cooling down at the same rate and mechanical severing of the sintered body to slabs, which are treated by grinding and polishing to a required surface grade.
