综述了近年来, 特别是近两年来国内外透明Nd:YAG激光陶瓷的研究与应用情况, 重点对我国的透明Nd:YAG激光陶瓷研究近况进行了分析, 指出了透明Nd:YAG激光陶瓷是目前陶瓷研究的热点。提出了透明Nd:YAG激光陶瓷研究中尚存在的问题和我国在此领域中与国外研究的巨大差距。分析指出：我国研究透明Nd:YAG激光陶瓷的各个院所之间, 应该强强联合, 优势互补, 对该领域的理论和制备工艺进行更为深入的研究。

The paper reviews the recent worldwide research and application of transparent Nd:YAG laser ceramics, especially in the last two years, and focuses on the analysis of the recent research in China. It points out that the transparent Nd:YAG laser ceramic is the current focus in ceramic research. At last, it puts forward the research difficulties and points out that the research in China is still far behind the world level. In conclusion, the colleges and institutes of material and optics in China, should cooperate on theory and progressing of the transparent Nd:YAG ceramics.
