Abstract
We report optical gain at 382 and 414 nm from Nd3+-doped fluroindate glasse s after excitation with lasers operating either at 583 or 532 nm. Stimulate d emission due to a frequency upconversion process results in increase of t he emitted violet and blue light intensity and emission line narrowing. Lar ge optical gain is measured by pump-probe spectroscopy using samples with v arious Nd3+ concentrations. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0021- 8979(99)09109-4].
