Universidad de Zaragoza Ceramics with photonic and optical applications 2015 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted There is a fast growing interest in new applications for advanced ceramic systems in the field of functional materials and in particular for optical materials. 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. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/MAT2012-30763 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/MAT2013-41045-R info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 0.28 2015 MATERIALS SCIENCE, CERAMICS 26 / 27 = 0.963 2015 Q4 T3 0.173 2015 Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering 2015 Q3 Mechanics of Materials 2015 Q4 Ceramics and Composites 2015 Q4 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion (orcid)0000-0003-0747-405X Merino, Rosa I.
