An optical gain medium comprises a multi-phase system wherein: a first phase is an electromagnetic radiation emitting and amplifying phase (16) that is comprised of doped semiconductor nanocrystals; a second phase is an electromagnetic radiation scattering phase (14); and a third phase is a substantially transparent (at the wavelengths of interest) matrix phase (12). The emission phase may consist of ZnS nanoparticles that are doped with Mn2+, the scattering phase may comprise TiO2 or Al2O3 nanoparticles, and the matrix phase may comprise a glass or polymer body, layer or coating. At least one dimension of a body, layer, or coating comprised of the gain medium may be less than a scattering length associated with the scattering phase. |
