Description

To produce highly transparent Yb-doped yttrium lanthanum oxide (Yb3+:(LaxY1-x)2O3) ceramics two original technologies were used: laser synthesis of nanopowder and pulsed magnetic compacting. Sintering of the compacts in vacuum 3 x 10-4 Pa at 1600-1700 C during 13 hours led to transparent ceramics fabrication. The ceramics with relative density higher than 99.99% and grain size about 40 μm were fabricated. Full transmittance of 1.8 mm thick Yb0,11La0,23Y1,66O3 ceramics reaches 82.5% rate at 800 nm.
