Abstract

Abstract Aluminum nitride (AlN) ceramics have attracted broad interest due to their potential applications in electronics. Additive manufacturing of ceramic components are rapidly advancing, could provide a new way of manufacturing over conventional methods. Non-destructive testing of 3D printed ceramic samples is an important step for quality control in manufacturing. Here we show that AlN ceramics show strong optical second harmonic generation (SHG) signals due to its wurtzite crystal structure. Microscopic SHG imaging can also examine the microscopy domains in AlN ceramics with submicron spatial resolution. This technique has the potential to be applied as a non-destructive testing method for examining 3D printed AlN ceramic components.
