Stimulated emission as a result of the inter-Stark transition in the 1-{mu}m {sup 4}F{sub 3/2}{yields}{sup 4}I{sub 11/2} channel of Nd{sup 3+} ions was excited for the first time in an acentric disordered Sr{sub x}Ba{sub 1-x}(NbO{sub 3}){sub 2} (x{approx}0.6) crystal. The low-threshold lasing of this crystal at the 1.0626 {mu}m wavelength was accompanied by diffuse intracavity generation of the second harmonic. (letters to the editor)
