This paper demonstrates that fine‐grained (2–3 μm), transparent Nd:YAG can be achieved at SiO 2 doping levels as low as 0.02 wt% by the sinter plus hot isostatic pressing (HIP) approach. Fine grain size is assured by sintering to 98% density, in order to limit grain growth, followed by HIP. Unlike d...
