Main Results:

Ce,Nd:YAG ceramics demonstrated 3.98 times higher absorbed visible light and 1.34 times higher light conversion efficiency compared to Cr,Nd:YAG.
A higher Nd3+ doping concentration with lower Ce3+ concentration optimized efficiency and emission intensity.
Energy transfer efficiency from Ce3+ to Nd3+ reached 61.71% at room temperature and 64.31% at 473 K.

Conclusions:

Ce,Nd:YAG transparent ceramics offer a promising new gain material for solar-pumped solid-state lasers.
The study established a concentration matching principle and identified optimal doping levels.
Enhanced energy transfer at higher temperatures presents a novel phenomenon for material design.
