The Nd 3+ cation diffusion into transparent polycrystalline YAG (Y 3 Al 5 O 12 ) was investigated as a function of temperature and silica content. Thin neodymium oxide layers were deposited on sintered YAG substrates prior to annealing under air at temperatures from 1400 to 1600 • C. Bulk and grain
