The microstructural units (grains, pores, interfaces) of
the ceramic are smaller than about 100 nm, because
light is scattered with about 1/4 of the shortest
wavelength.

Part of the incident light is reflected by all transparent materials. The
reflection is based on the abrupt change of the refractive index at the
interface of two media. Submicrostructured surfaces can
significantly reduce reflection. The surface structures, which are
smaller than the light wavelength, cannot be perceived visually - the
structures cause a continuous transition of the refractive index at the
surface and thus reduce the reflection.

the actual inline transmission (RIT) of a fully dense transparent ceramic:
where n/n is the ratio of the refractive index difference between the polarization
perpendicular and parallel to the c-axis to the average index n, 2r is the grain size of
the ceramic, the wavelength of the incident light, and d is the thickness of the
sample. This equation implies that the RIT is closely related to n/n and r at a given
thickness. The smaller the values of n/n and r, the higher the RIT. If n/n is an
intrinsic property of materials, r is an extrinsic parameter that can be controlled by
material processing. Therefore, the grain size of the ceramic for given materials
should be small enough to achieve a high RIT. For example, the grain size of a high
density sintered Al2O3 must be about 0.5 mm for a RIT of 60 to 65% at = 640 nm
and d = 1 mm [Wang].

The most important requirement that nanoparticles have to meet is a small size.
Typically, particle diameters smaller than 50 nm are necessary to obtain optically
transparent materials. The reason for this is the strongly increasing scattered light
intensity with increasing particle size. This connection is described by the law of
Rayleigh:
I is the intensity of the transmitted beam, I0 the intensity of the input beam, r the
radius of spherical particles, np the refractive index of the particles and nm the
refractive index of the matrix. λ is the wavelength of the light, Φp the volume
fraction of the particles and x the optical path length. A high scattering intensity is
associated with a cloudy appearance of the nanocomposite material and thus with
a loss of quality of the material for optical applications.

Distortion introduced into the incident laser beam as it propagates through the PLM. The dark lines shown
inside the PLM body are representative of local refractive index inhomogeneities and discontinuities
observed by the incident laser beam. The incident laser beam has a uniform circular shape and a
Gaussian intensity distribution. After passing the PLM sample, the transmitted beam has a distorted shape
due to mass scattering. [Sharma]

Since 1999, Yanagitani and Yagi Group in Konoshima Chemical, Co., in cooperation
with the Ueda Group at the University of Konoshima, started the development of highly
transparent neodymium-doped YAG ceramics in vacuum sintering process, where the
starting materials were produced by nanocrystalline technology.
Compared to YAG single crystal, transparent ceramic laser materials have the following
advantages, namely:
(1) Ease of production;
(2) less expensive;
(3) Production of large and high concentrations;
(4) multilayer and multifunctional ceramic structure;
(5) Mass production etc.
The optical properties of Nd: YAG ceramics, such as absorption, emission and
fluorescence lifetime as well as thermal conductivity, are similar to those of Nd: YAG
single crystal.

Transparent ceramics are produced by forming a nanopowder with a desired
shape and then sintering the sample in a vacuum to form an aggregate of
microcrystals [Konoshima ].

Production method used by Konoshima (1)
Transparent ceramics are produced by shaping a nanopowder of constituents
into the desired shape, then sintered in vacuum (heated below the melting point)
to form an aggregate of microcrystals with optical and thermal properties almost
identical to those of a monocrystal.
The precipitate of a solution of yttrium, neodymium and aluminium salts with the
addition of a solution of ammonium bicarbonate is then filtered, washed and
dried.
The co-precipitated amorphous carbonate is agglomerated to particles of about
10 nanometers.

Production method used by Konoshima (2)
In a process known as slip casting, a suspension of the fine powder is poured
into a plaster mould and allowed to settle.
The green compact (preform) still contains many pores and is only 40 to 45
percent dense. The preform structure is then sintered in a vacuum at high
temperature for many hours. This sintering process involves the diffusion of
surface atoms, which causes the particles to fuse together and reduce the total
surface energy.
Some of the pores are squeezed out, and the structure shrinks, but retains its
overall shape. In addition, many physical and thermal properties are dramatically
improved during sintering.

The precursor is heated to about 1100ºC to decompose the carbonates and form
particles of neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd: YAG) about 100
nanometres in size. Highly agglomerated, the particles are treated with
ultrasound and then the large particles are removed to obtain a uniform small

Transparent ceramics
Considering the experimental arguments, there are three conditions to obtain
optically transparent ceramics:
The material must be > 99.985% of theoretical density
no second phases must not be present in the microstructure
The material system must be optically isotropic or the average grain size must be
<200 nm.
Why nanopowders?
Sintering favoured by huge surface energy
the specific surface area increases with decreasing particle size
the surface energy increases with decreasing particle size (Kelvin Eqn.)
the sintering force increases with decreasing particle size
Transparent ceramics
Step 1: Preparation high purity powder
Step 2: High-temperature powder pre-pressing
Step 3: High Temperature Isostatic Presses (HIP) (to clear transparency)

The scintillator can be considered as a phosphor material for radiation that converts high-energy
particles, such as X-rays, X-rays and X-rays, into visible or UV light. The application of scintillator
has a great variety. It is usually combined with photodetectors and uses medical devices such as
X-ray CT, PET / SPECT, high energy physics, and a well-known example is baggage screening
in airports.

Light is reflected at both interfaces of an anti-reflective layer. The two reflected
waves of a certain wavelength can cancel each other out completely by
interference, if both the phase and amplitude conditions are fulfilled.
