Transparent Er:Y2O3 ceramics with sub-micron grain size (<1 μm) were fabricated by using one-step vacuum sintering followed by hot isostatic pressing (HIPing) technique. The transmission of the undoped Y2O3 reaches 83%. The structural characteristics including the phonon energy were investigated...
