摘要: 2 μm 波段处于人眼安全波长,在医疗、加工、红外探测与对抗,以及大气环境监测等军、民两用领域有着重要潜在和实际应用。Ho3+掺杂倍半氧化物陶瓷具有宽的吸收和发射光谱、高热导率以及低声子能量等优点,是一类重要的 2 μm 波段激光材料。通过材料固溶原理,可以实现光谱更加宽化,这使其有可能成为一类性能优异的中红外固体激光材料。本文以商业Y2O3、Sc2O3以及Ho2O3粉体为原料,添加少量ZrO2(原子比为0~1.0%)作为烧结助剂,采用真空预烧,结合热等静压烧结的工艺,成功制备出高透明的0.5%Ho∶(Y0.7Sc0.3)2O3陶瓷。研究了ZrO2掺杂浓度(0~1.0%)对Ho∶(Y0.7Sc0.3)2O3激光陶瓷致密化过程和光学性能的影响。通过添加ZrO2有效抑制了高温下Ho∶(Y0.7Sc0.3)2O3陶瓷晶粒的生长,掺杂1.0%ZrO2的Ho∶(Y0.7Sc0.3)2O3陶瓷经1 690 ℃下真空预烧结4 h和1 600 ℃/190 MPa热等静压烧结3 h后,其透过率在1 100 nm处达到79.1%(厚度为4.4 mm),接近理论透过率。

Abstract: 2 μm laser is one of the most important eye-safe lasers, and has important potential and practical applications in military and civilian fields such as medical treatment, materials processing, infrared detection/IR-counter measurement, and atmospheric environment monitoring. Due to their broad absorption and emission band in 2 μm range, high thermal conductivity, and low phonon energy, Ho3+ doped sesquioxide ceramic materials are important type of 2 μm laser materials. In addition, through forming the solid solution, much wider absorption and emission band can even be achieved, which give them the possibility to be the excellent mid-infrared solid-state laser materials. In this work, vacuum pressureless sintering combined with hot isostatic pressing sintering treatment was applied to prepare the 0.5%Ho∶(Y0.7Sc0.3)2O3 transparent ceramics by using commercial available Y2O3, Sc2O3 and Ho2O3 powders as the starting materials. By adding ZrO2 as the sintering aid, grain growth of the Ho∶(Y0.7Sc0.3)2O3 ceramic at high sintering temperature was effectively inhibited. The effect of ZrO2 doping ranged from 0~1.0% on the densification process, its further effect on the optical properties of Ho∶(Y0.7Sc0.3)2O3 laser ceramics was studied thoroughly. After pre-sintered at 1 690 ℃ for 4 h in vacuum and then hot isostatic sintered at 1 600 ℃/190 MPa for 3 h, the transmittance of 1.0%ZrO2 doped Ho∶(Y0.7Sc0.3)2O3 ceramic reaches 79.1% at 1 100 nm (4.4 mm in thickness), which is close to its theoretic value.
