Abstract

Broadband infrared luminescence centred at around 1300 nm with full-width at half maximum of about 342 nm was observed from transparent Ni 2+-doped lithium-alumino-silicate glass-ceramics embedded with β-eucryptite crystallines. The room temperature fluorescent lifetime was 98 νs. The transparent glass-ceramics may have potential applications in a widely tunable laser and a super-broadband optical amplifier for optical communications.
