Comparison of laser, optical and thermal properties of ceramic laser gain materials with single crystal materials

In this paper, a comparison of ceramic Nd:YAG manufacturing techniques are presented, including an overview of the coprecipitation process and the solid state reaction process. Merits and risks of each from a commercial manufacturing viewpoint are also presented.
