Abstract
Single crystals of SrLaGa3O7 undoped and doped with 5 and 10 at.% of n eodymium were grown by the Czochralski technique. Their composition an d dopant distribution were checked by X-ray microprobe. The Nd-doped c rystals were investigated for their lasing and spectral properties. Ab sorption spectra in the range 180-8000 nm and the luminescence spectra in the range 200-800 nm were measured. Throughout the whole spectrum differential changes of the absorption coefficient were found. Optical transitions corresponding to this effect are indicated.
