For several centuries, ceramic materials have been widely associated with building materials, whitewares and refractories.This notion has been changed over the past several decades, as non-metallic, inorganic ceramic materials have found applications in several areas of modern technology including electronics, medicine, energy, lasers and so on. Polycrystalline ceramic materials are generally opaque due to the scattering of incident light because of voids, pores, grain boundaries and birefringence and were believed tobe impossible to make transparent. Conventionally, glasses, polymers and single crystals were used for optical applications that require high transparency.
