Abstract

We estimated the crack formation process by analyzing the crack type and thermal stress of 2 at.% and 4 at.% ceramic Nd:YAGs damaged by pump power in an end-pumped ceramic laser. Lateral cracks, radial cracks, and median cracks occurred sequentially in the ceramic Nd:YAG when the tensile stress caused by the pump power increased over 160 MPa and decreased.
