Abstract
Ceramic welding methods and welded articles are disclosed. The present disclosure shows that transparent and diffuse ceramics can be successfully joined using lasers. The diffuse ceramic welding can be aided by introducing a small gap for optical penetration while no gap is necessary in the transparent ceramics case. Laser welding is more versatile on transparent ceramics since one can focus through the material allowing the joining of more complex geometries and over multiple interaction zones, increasing the ultimate weld volumes.
