This work presents state of the art rare-earth activated SnO2 nanocrystals - based transparent glass-ceramics. With combined enhancements in both photorefractivity and rare-earth photoluminescence, the glass-ceramic has unique benefits as a lasing material. It exhibits high photorefractivity with UV induced refractive index modifications in the order of 10-3. Exploiting its high photorefractivity, optical gratings are fabricated on the glass-ceramic under an energy-efficient direct UV writing process. Furthermore, SnO2 semiconductor nanocrystals are also employed as efficient rare-earth sensitizers enhancing drastically the rare-earth photoluminescence.

ABSTRACTNeutron detection scintillators based on rare-earth activated transparent glass and glass-ceramics are reported. Ce3+ doped gadolinium halides in 6LiF modified aluminosilicate glass matrices were synthesized by a melt-quench method followed by annealing. Their optical properties and alpha, neutron scintillation performance were investigated and compared to conventional 6Li-based scintillating glass.

Abstract We present some recent results obtained by our team in rare earth doped photonic glasses and confined structures, in order to give some highlights regarding the state of art in glass photonics. To evidence the unique properties of transparent glass ceramics we compare spectroscopic and structural properties between the parent glass and the glass ceramics. Starting from planar waveguides we move to spherical microresonators, a very interesting class of photonic confined structures. We also conclude the short review with some remarks about the perspective for glass photonics.

AbstractThe glass-ceramics of the phosphorus containing Na5RSi4O12type (R=rare earth) Na+-superionic conductors (Narpsio-V) in the system Na2O-Sm2O3-P2O5-SiO2 were prepared by crystallization of glasses with the composition Na3+3x-ySm1-xPySi3-yO9. The optimum conditions for crystallization were discussed with reference to the conduction properties and the preparation of uncracked bulky glass-ceramic Narpsio-V. The ionic conductivity of the glass-ceramic Na3.9Sm0.6P0.3Si2.7O9 at 300°C was drastically enhanced from 2.38×10-2 S/cm to 7.15×10-2 S/cm upon implantation of 200 keV Na+ ions to a fluence of 1 × 1015 cm-2.
