Various embodiments disclosed relate to an optical window including an infrared light transmissive optical material. The optical material includes a first ceramic phase including a first ceramic material and a first dopant distributed therein. The optical material further includes a second ceramic phase homogenously intermixed with the first ceramic phase and comprising a second ceramic material and a second dopant distributed therein. The first dopant increases the refractive index of the first ceramic material and the second dopant decreases the refractive index of the second ceramic material. The first dopant and the second dopant are present in an amount such that a difference in a refractive index of the first ceramic phase and of the second ceramic phase is in a range of from about 0.001 to about 0.2.
