Abstract
The solid-state laser medium made of single crystal is generally restricted in several factors to fabricate large size crystals and to dope optically active elements heavily. It is proposed to use ceramics for the laser to improve these factors. We have succeeded to fabricate highly transparent ceramics ruby by using CIP and vacuum sintering techniques. The fluorescence spectrum corresponding to that of the single crystal ruby was observed.
