Zusammenfassung:Provided is a paramagnetic garnet-type transparent ceramic which is truly transparent and has high optical homogeneity, the transparent ceramic being a sintered object of a composite oxide represented by formula (1), containing Si02 as a sintering aid in an amount larger than 0 mass% but not larger than 0.1 mass%, and having an average sinter-grain diameter of 5 µm or larger. The transparent ceramic has a total light transmittance of 84.0% or greater and a forward scatter of 0.5% or less at an optical path length of 25 mm and a wavelength of 1,064 nm and has a total light transmittance of 84.0% or greater and a forward scatter of 0.5% or less at an optical path length of 25 mm and a wavelength of 1,300 nm.        Formula (1):     (Tb1-x-yYxScy)3(Al1-zScz)5O12(In the formula, 0.05 ≤ x < 0.4, 0 ≤ y < 0.004, 0.6 ≤ 1-x-y < 0.95, 0 ≤ z < 0.004, and 0.001 < y+z < 0.005.)
