Abstract
-doped transparent glass-ceramics were prepared by heat treatment on the as-made glasses. It was confirmed from the absorption spectra that -doped glass-ceramics are indeed a low-field system. The broadband infrared emission centering at 1342 nm with the full width at half-maximum of more than 285 nm was observed by exciting the glass-ceramics with the excitation of an 808 nm laser diode. The observed infrared emission could be attributed to ions at low-field sites in glass-ceramics.
