Abstract

High-quality holmium-doped

Y_{3} {Al}_{5} O_{12}

(YAG) ceramic is fabricated in sequence by tape-casting and vacuum sintering. The average grain size of the Ho:YAG ceramic is around 20 μm with a fully dense microstructure. The inline transmittance of the sample is

～ 82 %

in visible and IR region. The fluorescence lifetime at 2088 nm is 8.17 ms. The excellent properties of the Ho:YAG ceramic demonstrate the tape-casting is a novel candidate process for the fabrication of Ho:YAG-based thin-chip or composite ceramics.
