摘要:

Sc2O3作为固体激光增益材料的基质, 具有热导率高、与激活离子匹配性好等优点, 在高功率固体激光应用中有着广阔的应用前景。目前, Yb掺杂的Sc2O3陶瓷可以在很高的烧结温度下合成, 但陶瓷的光学质量和烧结温度还有待进一步优化。本研究采用碳酸氢铵共沉淀法制备了分散性好、平均晶粒尺寸29 nm的立方相5%Yb:Sc2O3(掺杂量为质量分数)纳米粉体, 并采用真空预烧结和热等静压(Hot Isostatic Pressing, HIP)后处理制备了5%Yb:Sc2O3透明陶瓷, 详细研究了真空预烧结温度(1500~1700 ℃)对Yb:Sc2O3陶瓷的致密化过程、微观结构变化及光学透过率的影响。结果表明, 所有样品均具有均匀的微观结构, 且随着烧结温度的升高, 样品的平均晶粒尺寸增大。值得注意的是, 1550 ℃预烧的Yb:Sc2O3陶瓷经HIP后处理后, 在1100 nm处的最佳直线透过率达到78.1%(理论值为80%)。同时, 还评估了Yb:Sc2O3陶瓷的光谱性能。5%Yb:Sc2O3陶瓷的最小粒子数反转参数β2和发光衰减时间分别为0.041和0.49 ms。综上所述, 采用共沉淀法成功制备了Yb:Sc2O3纳米粉体, 通过1550 ℃真空预烧结和HIP后处理得到光学质量良好的Yb:Sc2O3透明陶瓷。

Abstract:

Sc2O3, as a host for solid-state laser gain materials, has advantage of high thermal conductivity and easy matching with activating ions, which is promising in high-power laser applications. Currently, Yb-doped Sc2O3 ceramics have been fabricated at very high sintering temperatures, but their optical quality and sintering process still need further improvement. In this work, 5%Yb:Sc2O3 (in mass) nano-powders were obtained by co-precipitation, and then transparent ceramics were fabricated by vacuum pre-sintering and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) post-treatment. The cubic Yb:Sc2O3 nano-powders with good dispersity and an average crystallite of 29 nm were obtained. Influence of pre-sintering temperatures (1500-1700 ℃) on densification process, microstructure changes, and optical transmittance of Yb:Sc2O3 ceramics was detected. Experimental data revealed that all samples have a uniform microstructure, while the average grain sizes increase with the increase of the sintering temperatures. Impressively, the optimum in-line transmittance of Yb:Sc2O3 ceramics, pre-sintered at 1550 ℃ after HIP post-treatment, reaches 78.1% (theoretical value of 80%) at 1100 nm. Spectroscopic properties of the Yb:Sc2O3 ceramics reveal that the minimum population inversion parameter β2 and the luminescence decay time of 5%Yb:Sc2O3 ceramics are 0.041 and 0.49 ms, respectively, which demonstrate that the optical quality of the Yb:Sc2O3 has been improved. Meanwhile, their best vacuum sintering temperature can be controlled down to a lower temperature (1550 ℃). In conclusion, Yb:Sc2O3 nano-powders are successfully synthesized by co-precipitation method, and good optical quality transparent ceramics are fabricated by vacuum pre-sintering at 1550 ℃and HIP post-treatment.
