The stimulated emission cross section of Nd:YAG (yttrium aluminum garnet) (/sup 4/F/sub 3/2/..-->../sup 4/I/sub 11/2/) was compared to the known cross section of Nd:ED-2 glass at 1060 nm. Small samples of Nd:YAG and ED-2 glass were end pumped with a chopped cw 514.5-nm argon-ion laser in an identical geometrical arrangement. The stimulated emission cross section obtained for Nd:YAG at 1064 nm was found to be 7.6 x 10/sup -19/ cm.
