Transparent tellurite glass-ceramics are the new revolution in the photonics era. The novelty of transparent tellurite glass-ceramics (TTGCs) originates from the formation of unique nanostructured crystalline phases which are otherwise unfeasible to compose. Tellurite glass already has the advantage of possessing low host phonon energy which further gets lowered around the local environment of dopant ions upon crystallization. Nevertheless, the flexibility of compositional modification in glasses opens up the opportunity of different crystalline phase precipitation with unique structure and properties. Moreover, the achievement of control over the heat-treatment process helps to attain the glass-ceramics with retention of optical transparency. Most importantly, when the glass-ceramics are doped with rare earths (RE), its capability of playing an intriguing role in the wide photonics field depends on preferential position of dopants in glass-ceramics, either at glassy phase or crystalline phase. Thus, we are aspiring to bring out an overview of important families of transparent tellurite glass-ceramics studied up to date with an in-depth analysis of crystalline phases along with profound survey about their micro/nano-structure and unique properties. After a thorough investigation, the shortcomings of these works are also highlighted along with mentioning the future application of these materials for further improvement.

透明碲酸盐微晶玻璃是光子学时代的新革命。透明亚碲酸盐玻璃陶瓷 (TTGC) 的新颖性源于独特的纳米结构结晶相的形成，否则这些结晶相是不可行的。碲酸盐玻璃已经具有低宿主声子能量的优势，在结晶时，该声子能量在掺杂离子的局部环境周围进一步降低。然而，玻璃成分改性的灵活性为具有独特结构和性能的不同晶相沉淀提供了机会。此外，对热处理过程的控制有助于获得保持光学透明度的微晶玻璃。最重要的是，当微晶玻璃掺杂稀土 (RE) 时，它在广泛的光子学领域中发挥重要作用的能力取决于掺杂剂在玻璃陶瓷中的优先位置，无论是玻璃相还是结晶相。因此，我们希望通过对晶相的深入分析以及对其微/纳米结构和独特性质的深入调查，概述最新研究的重要透明亚碲酸盐微晶玻璃系列。经过深入调查，这些作品的缺点也被突出，并提到了这些材料的未来应用以进一步改进。我们希望通过对晶相的深入分析以及对其微/纳米结构和独特性质的深入调查，概述最新研究的重要透明亚碲酸盐微晶玻璃系列。经过深入调查，这些作品的缺点也被突出，并提到了这些材料的未来应用以进一步改进。我们希望通过对晶相的深入分析以及对其微/纳米结构和独特性质的深入调查，概述最新研究的重要透明亚碲酸盐微晶玻璃系列。经过深入调查，这些作品的缺点也被突出，并提到了这些材料的未来应用以进一步改进。
