Executive Summary
We are employing a new additive manufacturing technique, material jetting, to print transparent ceramics with extremely fine feature sizes in the tens of microns for use as laser-amplification media. Achieving this resolution in gain and index-tailored three-dimensional structures within laser media will enable fabrication in an innovative optical design space of planar waveguides with desirable performance features, such as efficiency, footprint, power-level, and coherence.
