Transparent ceramic oxide-based yttria with the addition of erbium oxide for laser technology
The possibility of the production of transparent ceramic material on basis of yttrium oxide with the addition of erbium oxide (3, 6 and 12 mole percent) is researched in this investigation. The transparent material with the index of direct light transmission 65, 62 and 60% respectively and with the temperature of sintering 1950-1980°C are developed.
