In this paper, we summarized the related researches of YAG ceramic lasers and sesquioxide ceramic lasers in high-power lasers, ultrafast lasers and mid infrared laser materials. By reviewing the research progress of ceramic lasers, it not only revealed great value of laser ceramic materials applied to solid-state lasers, but also discussed the problems that ceramic lasers currently faced. Finally, the future development of ceramic lasers was prospected.
