Temperature influence on the lasing spectrum width of neodymium-glass lasers

OSTI ID:6004878
The free-running lasing spectra have been obtained for several neodymium-doped silicate and phosphate glasses in the case when the temperature of the active element was raised from 20 to 250--300 /sup 0/C. The broadening and long-wave shift of the lasing spectrum, observed at elevated temperatures and activator concentrations, are explained by the influence of absorption from the thermally populated /sup 4/I/sub 11/2/ level.
