Abstract :
Transparent glass-ceramics containing nanocrystals of (Er,Yb)NbO4 and β-quartz solid solution have been prepared; their IR and up-conversion luminescence spectra have been studied. Spectral-luminescent characteristics prove these materials to be promising media for 1.5 μm laser generation.
