Sesquioxide transparent ceramics such as Y2O3, Lu2O3, and Sc2O3, have been considered as promising host materials for high powder solid-state lasers. To meet the laser applications requirements, porosity of the ceramics must be minimized to less than 0.01%. Densification of ceramics is closely relat...
