  • Abstract
    The results of a study of the spectroscopic and laser properties of a Nd3+ doped fluoride glass are presented. Threshold energies and slope efficiencies are reported along with the stimulated emission cross section for the laser transition. The effect of excited state absorption of pump photons on the slope efficiency is investigated
