Cooperative sensitisation of luminescence of Nd{sup 3+} ions at the {sup 4}F{sub 3/2} {yields} {sup 4}I{sub 13/2}, {sup 4}I{sub 9/2} transitions by Pr{sup 3+} ions was observed in a borate glass doped with Pr{sup 3+}-Nd{sup 3+} ion pairs. The luminescence was excited by a 800-mW, 1.064-{mu}m Nd{sup 3+}:YAG laser. Simultaneously, spontaneous Raman scattering was observed in glasses containing Pr{sup 3+}-Nd{sup 3+} ion pairs or only Pr{sup 3+} ions. The Stokes shift from the 9398-cm{sup -1} excitation line is 794 cm{sup -1}. The mechanism of nonradiative energy transfer is discussed. (laser applications and other topics in quantum electronics)
