Abstract

We demonstrate broadband optical amplification at 1.3 μm in silicate glass-ceramics containing β-Ga2O3:Ni2+ nanocrystals with 980 nm excitation for the first time. The optical gain efficiency is calculated to be about 0.283 cm-1 when the excitation power is 1.12 W. The optical gain shows similar wavelength dependence to luminescence properties.
