Abstract

We will present our results on fabricating transparent ceramic gain media with endcaps, planar and channel waveguides made by additive manufacturing, thin-disk structures with an undoped “face cap”, and laser rods where the doped core is surrounded by a clad. The ceramic optics are based on various garnet and sesquioxide compositions as well as for SrF2. Various gain and laser oscillation results are included as feasibility demonstrations.
