This work presents a brief introduction on three kinds of newly developed
$\text{Nd}^{3+}$
-doped laser glasses in Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics (SIOM), China. Two
$\text{Nd}^{3+}$
-doped phosphate glasses with lower thermal expansion coefficient and thermal shock resistance 4 times higher than that of N31 glass are developed for laser processing. Nd:Silicate and Nd:Aluminate glasses with peak emission wavelength at 1061 and 1065 nm, effective emission bandwidth of 34 and 50 nm, respectively, are developed for Exawatt-class laser system application. Fluorophosphate glasses with low nonlinear refractive index (
$n_{2}=0.6{-}0.86$
) and long fluorescence lifetime (
$430{-}510~\unicode[STIX]{x03BC}\text{s}$
) are investigated for the purpose of decreasing B integral in high-power laser system. The properties of all these glasses are presented and compared with those of commercial neodymium laser glasses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
