Ceramics are entitled to fulfil the gap between glasses and single crystals in the area of photonic materials. The processing versatility and unpaired resistance to high temperature corrosive environments of some ceramics make them good candidates for such applications. However, the critical dependence of the material optical properties on microstructure makes the deep understanding of the processing conditions even more necessary than before for the fabrication of well ordered, transparent, efficient optical ceramics. This review is directed towards ceramists interested in new applications. In the paper we address some fundamental aspects of the relationship between processing, microstructure and optical properties that are illustrated with some examples related with transparent ceramics, glass ceramics, luminescence, random lasers, thermo-emissive applications, scintillators and dielectric metamaterials. 000032752 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/MAT2012-30763$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/MAT2013-41045-R 000032752 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc-nd$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 000032752 590__ $$a0.28$$b2015 000032752 591__ $$aMATERIALS SCIENCE, CERAMICS$$b26 / 27 = 0.963$$c2015$$dQ4$$eT3 000032752 592__ $$a0.173$$b2015 000032752 593__ $$aIndustrial and Manufacturing Engineering$$c2015$$dQ3 000032752 593__ $$aMechanics of Materials$$c2015$$dQ4 000032752 593__ $$aCeramics and Composites$$c2015$$dQ4 000032752 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000032752 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-0747-405X$$aMerino, Rosa I.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000032752 7102_ $$12003$$2395$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
