Four Cr 4+ ‐activated transparent glass‐ceramics containing different species of silicate nano‐crystals ( Zn 2 SiO 4 , Mg 2 SiO 4 , Li 2 ZnSiO 4 , and Li 2 MgSiO 4 ) were successfully prepared. Absorption spectra, photoluminescence spectra, lifetime decay curves, and quantum yield of these transparent glass‐ceramics were measured. According to the crystal field strength of Cr 4+ ‐incorporated tetrahedral sites, the broadband near‐infrared (NIR) luminescence of Cr 4+ can be tailored from 1130 to 1350 nm and the lifetime of Cr 4+ luminescence can be prolonged from 6 to 100 μs. Quantum yield in the transparent glass‐ceramics containing Li 2 ZnSiO 4 nano‐crystals reached at 17%, which is the highest value of NIR luminescence in transition‐metal‐activated glass materials.
