Lyophilized YAG gel, synthesized by the coprecipitation technique, has been sintered to transparency by spark plasma sintering method at 1500 degrees C. Whereas conventionally dried gels show large agglomerates, over 1 mu m, powders from lyophilized gels show no agglomeration with an average particle size below 100 nm. The absence of agglomerates affects on the optical properties of the sintered materials: conventionally dried powders are opaque after sintering, whereas 0.8mm thick transparent YAG materials with in-line transmittances close to 60% at 680nm and over 80% in the infrared range have been obtained for the lyophilized gels.
