Abstract

Abstract: A series of Na₂O-CaO-SiO₂ glass ceramics containing different content of Nd³⁺ ions were prepared by the method of high temperature melting and subsequent crystallization. The absorption, excitation and emission spectra of these glass ceramics were investigated; effects of Nd³⁺ content and crystallization behavior on the laser properties of this material had been studied. The results show that the emission bands originating from the ⁴F_3/2 state of Nd³⁺ were firstly enhanced with the increase of the Nd₂O₃ doping content and the crystallinity degree, and then decreased with more doping content and deepened crystallization. The possible reasons of this phenomenon were analyzed. Research will be favored to promote the development of glass ceramics laser materials for space solar energy.

Key words: Transparent glass-ceramics, Laser property, Space solar energy
