Abstract
Laser ceramics based on ytterbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet and yttrium oxide are synthesized. The transmission, pulsed cathodoluminescence, and electron-spin resonance spectra of these ceramics at room temperature are measured and analyzed. It is shown that all the samples contain Yb2+ ions with the 4f 136s electronic configuration of the ground state, which manifest themselves in the form of relatively weak bands in the IR region of the optical spectra in addition to the bands of Yb3+ ions.
