Abstract: We present a comparative study of two Lu-based oxide ceramics doped with Yb3+ ions, namely Yb:Lu3Al5O12 (garnet) and Yb:Lu2O3 (sesquioxide), promising for thin-disk lasers. The ceramics are fabricated using nano-powders of 3.6 at.% Yb:Lu2O3 and Al2O3 produced by laser ablation: Yb:Lu3Al5O12 - by vacuum sintering at 1800 degrees C for 5 h with the addition of 1 wt% TEOS as a sintering aid, and Yb:Lu2O3 - by vacuum pre-sintering at 1250 degrees C for 2 h followed by Hot Isostatic Pressing at 1400 degrees C for 2 h under Ar gas pressure of 207 MPa. The comparison includes the structure, Raman spectra, transmission, optical spectroscopy and laser operation. The crystal-field splitting of Yb3+ multiplets is revealed for Lu3Al5O12. A continuous-wave (CW) Yb:Lu3Al5O12 ceramic microchip laser generates 5.65 W at 1031.1 nm with a slope efficiency of 67.2%. In the quasi-CW regime, the peak power is scaled up to 8.83 W. The power scaling for the Yb:Lu2O3 ceramic laser is limited by losses originating from residual coloration and inferior thermal behavior.
