Abstract
Spectroscopic, luminescence-kinetic and laser properties of Ce-Cr-Nd c o-doped fluoride phosphate and phosphate glasses are given. Ce3+ ions act efficiently as sensitizer and Ce3+/4+ ions, incorporated in glasse s, prevent UV radiation damage. The co-doping of Cr3+ ions produces on ly a marginal increase of laser efficiency as the result of non-radiat ive deactivation of Cr3+, connected with increasing temperature of the active laser media. Fluoride phosphate glasses with phosphate content s between 10 and 20 mol% are good hosts for Nd3+ laser ions.
