[Preparation and optical properties of MgAl2O4/Ce:YAG transparent ceramics].

High-purity ultrafine MgAl2O4 powder was synthesized by metal-alkoxide method and calcining for 2-4 h. And then MgAl2O4/Ce:YAG transparent ceramics were fabricated by hot-pressed sintering and hot isostatic pressed sintering technique with YAG:Ce powder and MgAl2O4 powder. The transparent ceramics were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS and fluorescence spectrometer, respectively.
