摘　　要：在未来的许多应用中,陶瓷激光增益介质将代替单晶介质,这被认为是固体激光器的一次真正的革命。文中评述了陶瓷增益介质的发展及其优点,介绍了美国空军和陆军研究实验室对陶瓷介质特性进行的较为系统的研究。最后评论和分析了目前美国正在研制的两种具有高束质的大功率陶瓷激光器及其关键技术。Ceramic laser gain media not only has excellent physical and optical properties but also has high resistance to fracture, potential damage resistance and machinability over single crystals. It is certain that ceramic gain media will replace single crystals in the future many applications. A ceramic laser is a real revolution in solid state lasers. Developments and advantages of ceramic gain media are reviewed. The systematic study of ceramic gain media properties which has been conducted by U. S. AFRL and ARL is introduced. Finally, two high-power ceramic lasers with excellent beam quality and the key technologies which are being developed by America are reviewed and analyzed.
