FIELD : physics. SUBSTANCE : proposed laser material is a ceramic polycrystalline microstructure substance with particle size of 3-100 mcm, containing a twinned nanostructure inside the particles with size of 50-300 nm, made from halides of alkali, alkali-earth and rare-earth metals or their solid solutions, with vacancy or impurity laser-active centres with concentration of 1015-1021 cm-3. The method involves thermomechanical processing a monocrystal, made from halides of metals, and cooling. Thermomechanical processing is done until attaining 55-90% degree of deformation of the monocrystal at flow temperature of the chosen monocrystal, obtaining a ceramic polycrystalline microstructure substance, characterised by particle size of 3-100 mcm and containing a twinned nanostructure inside the particles with size of 50-300 nm. EFFECT : improved mechanical properties, increased microhardness and failure viscosity. 5 cl, 1 tbl, 4 ex, 1 dwg
