Abstract
Through a careful hear, treatment of an Er3+-doped ZrF4-based fluoride glass a transparent vitroceramic is obtained with the particular prop erty of having the Er3+ active ion only within the single microcrystal line phase. This allows to encompass a new type of optical amplificati on medium with emission cross-section increased by 100% showing crysta l-like inhomogeneous line width.
