Abstract
The properties of IR emission centers are investigated in Bi-doped Mg-Al-silicate glasses having moderate melting temperatures to be fabricated by routine melting in alumina crucibles. The quadratic concentration dependence of absorption in the visible range indicates that the considered optical centers can be Bi2 dimers forming in a balanced chemical reaction in the glass melt. Their formation enthalpy is evaluated from their concentration variations with the synthesis temperature. The high (up to 85% at low concentrations) luminescence quantum yield and wide emission spectrum makes this glass a promising material for tunable lasers.
