A high-optical-quality sample of Yb{sub 0.1}Y{sub 1.7}La{sub 0.2}O{sub 3} ceramics is prepared using a recently developed technique of selfpropagating high-temperature synthesis of rare-earth-doped yttrium oxide nanopowder from acetate – nitrates of metals. Its optical and spectral characteristics are studied, and quasi-cw lasing at a wavelength of 1033 nm is achieved with a power of 7 W and a slope efficiency of 25%. (lasers)
