Abstract: From the transporting course of light in polycrystalline ceramics, this paper analyzed many factors that affect the transparence of ceramics, art requirements of making transparent ceramics and the fundamental characteristics of transparent ceramics products. On the theory basis, progress of research on several typical non-oxide transparent ceramics such as A1N, A1ON and Sialon were introduced.

Key words: polycrystalline ceramics, non-oxide, transparence
