... These attributes contributed to a highly productive research career where his research and technological interests included preparation of optically transparent, polycrystalline ceramics, useful as scintillators in advanced medical x-ray detectors, arc tube envelopes for high intensity discharge lamps, ceramic lasers, and optical windows.

... At the GE Research Center Chuck Greskovich mentored many colleagues and enjoyed sharing his passion for understanding the basic physical processes behind ceramic processing. A great example is the development of the HiLight scintillator, the first transparent ceramic scintillator designed to accurately measure x-ray intensity for CT medical imaging.

... Ceramic metal halide lamps are very efficient, greater than 6 times more efficient than incandescent lamps, and can operate for 2 years of continuous service. There are significant thermomechanical stresses on the translucent aluminum oxide envelope that contains gases at pressures up to 30 atmospheres and an arc temperature up to 6500°C.
