Dy3+-doped Y2O3 ceramics were fabricated by Spark Plasma Sintering method. The effect of sintering temperature on the microstructure and the optical transmittance of the ceramics was studied. The maximum in-line transmittance of Dy:Y2O3 ceramics with thickness of 1 mm was 74.5% at 574 nm when sinter...
