J. Azkargorta et al., SPECTROSCOPIC AND LASER PROPERTIES OF ND(3+) IN BIGAZLUTMN FLUORIDE GLASS, IEEE journal of quantum electronics, 30(8), 1994, pp. 1862-1867
The optical properties of Nd3+-doped fluoride BIGaZLuTMn glass have be
en investigated by using steady-state and time-resolved laser spectros
copy. Laser action has been obtained for the first time in this glass
by flashlamp pumping. The influence of site-dependent effects on fluor
escence lifetime and time-resolved stimulated emission has been proved
.
