摘要
We describe the deposition of Ti:sapphire thin films by the pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) method for the waveguide laser application, with an emphasis on the reduction of droplets which is inevitably generated during PLD. In order to eliminate the droplets from the film surface, we introduced centrifugal separation of the droplets out of the laser ablation plume using a high-speed rotating target. The behavior of droplets in the ablation plume generated with a high-speed rotating target is presented along with the film properties.
