Abstract

Single crystals of three Nd³⁺-doped disordered oxides have been grown and characterized as candidates for improved diode-pumped solid state lasers. These hosts include one melilite, SrGdGa₃O₇ (SGGM), and two gallogermanates, La₃Ga₅GeO₁₄ (LGG) and its isomorph La₃Ga₅SiO₁₄ (LGS). Spectroscopic properties such as absorption and emission bandwidth, fluorescent lifetimes, and emission cross-sections are included. Laser properties of the ⁴F_3/2 - ⁴I_11/2 transition at 1.06 microns have been measured.
