Abstract
Investigations of 1Nd : Y2O3 + 6HfO2, 1Nd : Y2O3 + 10HfO2, 3Yb: Y2O3 + 5ZrO2, and 5Yb :Y2O3 + 5HfO2 laser ceramics with typical optical inhomogeneities called "orange peel" are presented. The diameter and thickness of samples were, respectively, 11 and 1.7-2.0 mm. Characteristic sizes of optical inhomogeneities causing the effect of "orange peel" were in a range from 10 to 300 mm.
