Broadband luminescence is used to realize 1–2 μm optical amplifier and tunable laser. Luminescent properties of glasses are investigated systematically. Peak position and intensity of the near‐infrared emission depend strongly on excitation wavelength. Based on a collaborative investigation of the photoluminescence and luminescence decay, a plausible bidirectional energy transfer mechanism between <alternatives><inline-graphic mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg4sxkpg86" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /><mml:math altimg="urn:x-wiley:20411286:media:ijag12056:ijag12056-math-0004" overflow="scroll" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:msubsup><mml:mtext>Bi</mml:mtext><mml:mi>n</mml:mi><mml:mrow><mml:mi>m</mml:mi><mml:mo>+</mml:mo></mml:mrow></mml:msubsup></mml:math></alternatives> and Tm<sup>3+</sup> is confirmed.</p> </abstract>
