    Area of Science:

    • Materials Science
    • Optics and Photonics
    • Laser Technology

    Background:

    • Transparent ceramics offer unique optical properties for laser applications.
    • Developing advanced waveguide structures is crucial for enhancing laser performance and functionality.
    • Previous fabrication methods faced limitations in creating complex multilayer ceramic structures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To fabricate multilayer transparent ceramic planar waveguides using a novel particle-loaded ink spraying method.
    • To characterize the fabricated waveguides for their structural and optical properties.
    • To evaluate the lasing performance of the multilayer waveguides, particularly for ribbon laser applications.

    Main Methods:

    • Particle-loaded ink spraying for fabricating multilayer Yb:YAG and Lu:YAG ceramic waveguides.
    • Elemental mapping to determine waveguide thickness and layer composition.
    • Fitting Ytterbium (Yb) concentration profiles to diffusion models.
    • Laser cavity testing of both homogeneous and multilayer waveguides.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully fabricated multilayer transparent ceramic planar waveguides with layer thicknesses under 10 µm.
    • Waveguide thicknesses ranged from 40 to 69 µm.
    • Achieved similar slope efficiencies for both homogeneous and multilayer waveguides, with a maximum of 31%.
    • Observed evidence of the ribbon structure influencing the preferred laser mode through beam profile analysis.

    Conclusions:

    • The particle-loaded ink spraying method is effective for fabricating multilayer transparent ceramic waveguides.
    • Multilayer waveguides demonstrate comparable lasing performance to homogeneous ones.
    • The unique ribbon structure of the multilayer waveguides influences laser beam characteristics, paving the way for novel laser designs.
