The invention relates to a process for making a SiO2—RExOy—Al2O3 glass comprising preparing a glass according to a conventional process wherein the conventional process comprises a step of heat treating a mixture of SiO2, RExOy, and Al2O3 at a temperature greater than the spinodal temperature for 0.1 to 10 hours wherein RExOy is a rare earth oxide and RE is a rare earth element chosen from Sc, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, and combinations thereof. The invention also relates to glasses prepared by the process and glass lasers, optical amplifiers and laminated glass that comprise the glass prepared by the process. |
