We show that oxy-fluoride glass ceramics, with typical composition, 32(SiO2):9(AlO1.5):31.5(CdF2):18.5(PbF2):5.5(ZnF2): 3.5(ErF3) mol % have potential applications in telecommunications. Upon heat treatment, Er3+ nucleates the growth of the nanocrystalline β-PbF2, which acts as its host. Heat treatment at 440 °C for 5 h and at 390 °C for 3 h gave rise to ∼12 and ∼2.5 nm diameter crystals, respectively. The emission band of Er3+ in the 1.54 μm telecommunications window (4I13/2→4I15/2 transition, at the half-height width) was 75 nm in the former and 90 nm in the latter case, while I13/24↔I15/24 absorption and emission bands became wavelength divergent in both cases. Also in the latter case, the spectrum was flat from 1.53 to 1.56 μm. The evolution of spectral behavior is explained by changes in average site geometry of the Er3+ dopant, related to the α→β phase transition of PbF2, which is stimulated by heat treatment.

The photoluminescence properties of a silicate glass coactivated with silver and erbium ions were studied. Absorption and photoluminescence spectra allowed to distinguish in the glasses several active species related to the silver, whose ratio depends on heat treatment and silver concentration. The broad emission of silver related species in the visible region of the spectrum has been studied in correlation with the nonresonant excitation of the erbium ions. The comparison of the excitation spectra of silver and erbium shows that the erbium ions are excited through radiative and nonradiative energy transfer from small silver aggregates.
