    Luminescence spectra of typical Bi-doped tantalum germanate glass (1) before and (2) after being heat treated at 750°C for 1 h upon the excitation of the 808 nm laser diode (LD). Inset shows the change from the original reddish brown transparent sample to the devitrified opaque sample.

    (Color online) Luminescence spectra of gallogermanate glasses doped with different contents (1% to 10%, as labeled) of Bi upon the excitation of the 808 nm LD. Inset shows that the new developed glass keeps the reddish brown transparency though being heated at 600°C for 1 h.
