Fabrication and Sintering Behavior of Er:SrF2 Transparent Ceramics using Chemically Derived Powder

In this paper, we report the fabrication of high-quality 5 at. % Er3+ ions doped SrF2 transparent ceramics, the potential candidate materials for a mid-infrared laser-gain medium by hot-pressing at 700 °C for 40 h using a chemically-derived powder. The phase structure, densification, and microstruct...
