The invention discloses Nd-sensitized
yttrium oxide-based
laser ceramic. Each
crystal particle of the
laser ceramic is provided with a core-shell structure, a core layer is a (Y,Nd,M)2O3 phase, a shell layer is a (Y,N)2O3 phase, wherein M is
rare earth luminescent ions, and N is a
sintering aid. A preparation process comprises the following steps: firstly mixing a
yttrium compound, a
neodymium compound and an M compound, calcining to obtain (Y,Nd,M)2O3
powder, then mixing the
yttrium compound with the N compound, calcining to obtain (Y, N)2O3
powder, and then mixing the two powders; or mixing the
yttrium compound with the N compound, then directly adding the (Y,Nd,M)2O3
powder, mixing and calcining; carrying out isostatic pressing on the obtained mixed powder, carrying out
vacuum sintering, cooling, and then annealing. The
laser ceramic disclosed by the invention has the advantages that a (Y,N)2O3
thin layer with excellent
sintering property is utilized for
coating the (Y,Nd,M)2O3 phase, and the lattice
distortion is reduced on the basis of improving the
sintering property of the ceramic, so that excellent laser performance is obtained.
