High neodymium content aluminophosphate glass and laser

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6346329
Miniature lasers comprise a high neodymium content aluminophosphate glass composition as the active lasing medium, disposed in an optical cavity defined by a first totally reflective mirror and a second partially transmissive mirror, and an optical pumping means which can be either a flashlamp or a light emitting diode. The aluminophosphate glass laser material consists essentially of from 0.01 to 13 mole percent neodymium oxide, from 25 to 35 mole percent aluminum oxide, and from 60 to 70 mole percent phosphorus pentoxide.
