Abstract :
The properties of Nd3+: POCl3-ZrCl4and SnCl4liquid lasers were investigated. Stimulated-emission cross section, loss coefficient, and terminal-level lifetime were determined. Thermal effect and amplification characteristics were studied. According to the experimental data, the POCl3liquid laser seems to be useful for a high-power laser system under suitable arrangements.
