METHOD OF FABRICATING OPTICAL CERAMICS CONTAINING COMPOSITIONALLY TAILORED REGIONS IN THREE DIMENSION

摘要

The present disclosure relates, in some embodiments, to methods for making optical ceramics (e.g., solid state laser gain media) using material or micro-material deposition methods. The disclosure also relates to compositions comprising optical ceramics having three dimensionally tailored compositional profiles (e.g., compositional gradient profiles and/or compositional segmented profiles).
