Lasers are fundamental to our society and are used in an ever-increasing range of fields including manufacturing, communications, defense and medical industries. One of the main drivers in laser development is increasing laser power. This work presents the development of a new polycrystalline transparent ceramic material that shows promise as a high-power laser gain media. In addition, the development of materials specifically designed for fundamental laser-material interaction studies on lab scale as well as high energy, facility scale lasers is presented. The power deliverable by a laser scales directly with the thermal conductivity of the laser gain material. Aluminum oxide (hexagonal, Al2O3) has a higher thermal conductivity than any ...
