摘要
The 0.05 at.% Co:MgAl2O4 precursor was synthesized by the coprecipitation method from a mixed solution of magnesium, aluminum, and cobalt nitrates using ammonium carbonate as the precipitant. 0.05 at.% Co:MgAl2O4 transparent ceramics were successfully obtained via vacuum sintering and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) of 0.05 at.% Co:MgAl2O4 nanopowder calcined at 1100 degrees C for 4hours. The properties of powder and ceramics were comprehensively investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results showed that Co:MgAl2O4 nanopowder had a pure spinel phase. Also, the in-line transmittances of the HIP posttreated Co:MgAl2O4 ceramics with the thickness of 1.2mm were 82% at 400nm and 84.7% at 900nm. The average grain sizes of 0.05 at.% Co:MgAl2O4 ceramics before and after the HIP posttreatment were 11 and 28m, respectively. The calculated ground state absorption cross section of 0.05 at.% Co:MgAl2O4 ceramics was 2.9x10(-19)cm(2), indicating that this ceramics is a promising material applied as a saturable absorber for passive laser Q-switches in the 1.3-1.7m domain.
