Abstract
A Ti:sapphire laser pumped Nd3+-doped tellurite bulk glass laser opera ting at 1066 nm is described. We believe this is the first demonstrati on of bulk glass laser in tellurite glass. A lasing threshold of 4.20 mJ of 804.3 nn absorbed pump energy and a slope efficiency output ener gy versus pump energy of 14.7% were observed.
