In this study, the influence of the quantitative content of sulfate ions at key technological stages of the synthesis of YAG:Cr ceramic powder on the optical properties of ceramics was investigated. The size and size distribution of particles, the degree of agglomeration, specific surface area, and phase composition of the ceramic powder were evaluated.
The changes in the microstructure and optical properties of the YAG:Cr ceramic material were described depending on the amount of sulfate ions used at various stages of the synthesis of ceramic powder.
It was found that the use of a solution containing 0.200 M and 0.045 M sulfate ions at the stage of precipitation or washing of the precipitate, respectively, resulted in achieving better dispersal characteristics and the highest monodispersity of precursor powders and YAG:Cr ceramic powders. Additionally, it improved the optical properties of YAG:Cr ceramics with a light transmittance value of over 81.5 %.
