Nonradiative Energy Losses And Radiation Trapping In Neodymium-Doped Phosphate Laser Glasses

Fluorescence radiation trapping and nonradiative energy losses from the Nd3+ 4F3/2 state are reported for two widely used commercial phosphate laser glasses (LHG-8 an LG-770). The effects of hydroxy-group, transition-metal (Cu, Fe, V, Co, Ni, Cr, Mn and Pt), and rare-earth (Dy, Pr, Sm and Ce) impurities on the 4F3/2 nonradiative decay rate in these glasses are quantified.
