Neodymium phosphate glass for laser - synthesised easily and giving increased efficiency and energy capacity

摘要

Nd phosphate glass for laser contains 64-77(mole) % P2O5, 26-8% alkali metal oxide(s) and 10-15% oxide(s) of Nd and opt. La, Gd, Lu, Sc, Y, Al and/or Cr. The glass is useful for very small lasers with an output in the 1.06-1.34 micron range. It can be synthesised easily and gives lasers with increased efficiency and specific energy capacity.
