Abstract The optical and structural properties of films deposited from laser sintered Zirconia (ZrO2), Hafnia (HfO2), and Yttria (Y2O3) and from the commercially available (unprocessed material) Zirconia, Hafnia and Yttria, were studied and compared. All the films had low absorption. Films deposited from the laser sintered material had very low optical inhomogeneity. ZrO2 films showed negative inhomogeneity for films deposited from the unprocessed material. The refractive index increased for ZrO2 films deposited from the laser sintered material. HfO2 and Y2O3 films showed positive inhomogeneity when deposited from the unprocessed material. The refractive index of the films of these materials decreased when deposited from the laser sintered material. The thin films of ZrO2 and Y2O3 prepared from laser sintered material had stable monoclinic and cubic structures respectively while HfO2 films were found to be amorphous.
