Abstract: Composite sapphire/Ti:sapphire crystals for high power applications were grown by the hydrothermal method. The X-ray diffraction pattern of omega scan indicates that the coating Al2O3 is of high quality. The strong bonding between the coating Al2O3 and Ti:Al2O3 is suitable for the strong thermal stresses present with intense pumping. The optical loss at the boundary of the composite crystal is considerably low.

Key words: laser materials, laser cooling, optical materials, Ti:sapphire
