Ba(Mg,Zr,Ta)O{sub}3:Nd{sup}(3+) fine-grained ceramics: a novel laser-gain material with disordered structure for high-power laser systems

摘要

Nd{sup}(3+)-ion doped Ba(Mg,Zr,Ta)O{sub}3 ceramics is introduced as a new gain crystalline materials for lasers and laser amplifiers. By pumping laser-diode radiation at 300K its CW stimulated emission at 1.0754 μm wavelength was recorded. Some optical, spectroscopic and mechanical properties were measured as well.
