In this study, we investigated both the microstructure and the chemistry of the core/inner cladding interface in Cr-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Cr:YAG) double-clad crystal fiber by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. In the axial direction, two contrasting layers were found between the SiO2 inner cladding and the YAG crystal core (with or without heat treatment). Cr3+:$\gamma$-Al2O3 nanocrystals were observed; these nanodomains were slightly tilted at an angle of about 2° from the core YAG structures at the original interface. Subsequently, amorphous oxide layers were formed during codrawing laser-heated pedestal growth. The Cr3+:$\gamma$-Al2O3 nanocrystals had different lattice parameters and showed various structures during growth. The defect density of the core YAG near the interface was reduced after appropriate heat treatment. These results indicated that the growth kinetics can critically affect the interface chemistry in this crystal fiber. The relative fluorescence spectrum of Cr4+ in both low- and high-field sites was significantly affected by the nanocrystal distribution.
