Compositions and heat treatment conditions were determined at which absorption and luminescence properties of aluminosilicate transparent glass-ceramics are defined mainly by tetrahedrally coordinated Co2+ ions located in spinel nanocrystals. Optical properties of cobaltdoped aluminosilicate transparent glass-ceramics have been studied in visible – near infrared (IR) spectral range. It was demonstrated that the concentration of tetrahedrally coordinated Co2+ ions in the spinel nanocrystals is determined by the CoO content in the initial glass and is independent of the heat-treatment schedule. Absorption saturation and bleaching relaxation under excitation of the 4A2→4T1(4F) transition of tetrahedrally coordinated Co2+ ions were studied. The value of groundstate and excited state absorption cross-sections of tetrahedrally coordinated Co2+ ions was estimated. Comparative study of output pulse parameters of Q-switched Er:glass laser using cobaltdoped glass-ceramics and Co2+:MgAl2O4 single crystal is presented.

Sm3+ doped transparent glass-ceramics of CaO-B2O3-SiO2 (CBS) system were prepared and characterized.The precursor glass was prepared by melting method and annealed at 450°C for 2h and cooled to room temperature at a speed of 5°C/min.The appropriate heat treatment schedule to precursor glass was determined to be 2h at 600°C for nucleation and 3h at 810°C for crystallizition.The transmittion of glass-ceramics at the range of visable light is 68% in average. Five main emission bands of Sm3+ are centered around 564nm,605nm,646nm,679nm and 789nm,which correspond to the 4G 5/2→6H 5/2,4G 5/2→6H 7/2,4G 5/2→6H 9/2,4G 5/2→6H 11/2 and 4G 5/2→6H 13/2 transitions.Very strong luminescence at around 599nm is observed in glass-ceramics,This indicates glass-ceramics to be a better host for Sm3+ than precursor glass and a hopeful laser material.

In this article we present a new kind of large grain transparent glass-ceramics obtained by the method of crystal growth from a homogenous glass, the simultaneous variation of the glass matrix and crystalline compositions during the crystallization results in the high transparency of this kind of large grain, high crystalline volume glass-ceramics, which have suitable refractive indexes between respective phases. The nucleation and crystallization behaviors of this kind of glass-ceramics have been investigated. The optimum heat treatment schedule for the glass was determined by means of DSC, XRD and SEM. The desirable optical property, such as laser characteristics etc, of this new kind of glass-ceramics can be further developed by doping with transition metals or rare-earths.

Sintering glass-ceramics, a new type material for architectural decoration, belong to CaO-Al2O3-SiO2system (CAS) without nucleation agent. Combined by Differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Transmission electron microscope (TEM), phase evolutionary process of CaO-Al2O3-SiO2system glass and glass-ceramic was investigated. According the relation between heat treatment schedule and microstructure, the glass system has a very wide temperature range of crystallization. The crystalline phase is β-CaSiO3(β-wollastonite) and there is no other crystalline phases precipitated in these glass-ceramics. The influences of various heat treatment systems on the structure and properties of the glass-ceramics were investigated simultaneously. The optimal heat treatment schedule, microstructure and bending strength of the CAS glass ceramic were gained.

On the basis of experimental verification, the optimum processing conditions of CaO-B2O3-SiO2(CBS) system transparent glass-ceramics were obtained. Composition of main raw powders (wt%) was:CaO 38%,SiO240%,B2O312%.The precursor glass was prepared by melting method and annealed at 560°C for 2h and cooled to room temperature at a speed of 5°C/min.The best nucleating agent is P2O5. The appropriate heat treatment regime to precursor glass was determined to be 2h at 600°C for nucleation and 3h at 780°C for crystallizition.Under this condition,the transmittion of glass-ceramics at the range of visable light is 72% in average and Sm3+keep good luminescence property doped in this host material.
