The authors have investigated the CW laser properties of the lanthamide hexa-aluminate La/sub 0.9/Nd/sub 0.1/MgAl/sub 11/O/sub 19/ at room temperature. When a 1 cm long crystal is pumped by an Ar/sup +/ laser (514 nm) or a Kr/sup +/ laser (752 nm), CW emission is obtained with slope efficiencies of 10 and 26 percent, respectively. A four-plate Lyot filter in the cavity forces the LNA crystal to oscillate in either of the two major bands centered at 10,820 A (tuning range 80 A) and 10 545 A (tuning range 35 A).
