Researchers at the Universities of Nottingham and Sheffield in the UK and at Universidad de La Laguna on the island of Tenerife in Spain are investigating a new class of material as an erbium host for telecommunications applications. The material, which they call “nano-glass-ceramic,” accepts doping levels of erbium on the order of 45,000 parts per million without concentration quenching, exhibits fairly flat emission in the range of 1530 to 1560 nm and displays the broadest half-height-width emission for erbium in any host to date.
