Strong broadband white photoluminescence was observed in fullerene-doped phosphate and fluorophosphate optical glasses irradiated by an ultraviolet laser. Microphotoluminescence measurements demonstrated the existence of microislands in those amorphous glasses, where fullerene dopants provided high photosensitivity and optical nonlinearity. Nonlinear photoluminescence was observed under ultralow continuous-wave laser excitations. The photoluminescence peak wavelengths were demonstrated to depend nonlinearly on the laser excitation power. {copyright} 2001 American Institute of Physics.
