Our objective is to achieve a new good-quality and mechanically durable high-transparency material that, when activated by rare earth ions, can be used as laser sources, scintillators, or phosphors. The best functional transparent ceramics are formed from high-symmetry systems, mainly cubic. Considering hexagonal hydroxyapatite, which shows anisotropy, the particle size of the initial powder is extremely important and should be of the order of several tens of nanometers. In this work, transparent micro-crystalline ceramics of non-cubic Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 calcium phosphate were fabricated via Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) from two types of nanopowders i.e., commercially available (COM. HA) and laboratory-made (LAB. HA) via the hydrothermal (HT) protocol. Our study centered on examining how the quality of sintered bodies is affected by the following parameters: the addition of LiF sintering agent, the temperature during the SPS process, and the quality of the starting nanopowders. The phase purity, microstructure, and optical transmittance of the ceramics were investigated to determine suitable sintering conditions. The best optical ceramics were obtained from LAB. HA nanopowder with the addition of 0.25 wt.% of LiF sintered at 1000 °C and 1050 °C.
