During the last two decades, laser-induced white emission (LIWE) has been the subject of numerous studies. LIWE was generated when excited by a focused laser beam in a vacuum, resulting in a broadband emission that covers the entire visible and part of the near-infrared region. At the moment, LIWE has already found practical application, for example, in the production of hydrogen. Despite the progress made in understanding this phenomenon, the nature of LIWE still needs to be determined to find answers to many questions. This is due to the limited amount of experimental data provided to date. This paper focuses on the effect of Nd 3+ concentrations and size of La 1−x Nd x AlO 3 nanorods on LIWE properties. It was found that La 1−x Nd x AlO 3 (x: 0, 0.05, 0.5, 1) nanorods are able to generate LIWE without a vacuum, which is a rare effect. To explain the result of this work, multiphoton ionization theory was proposed.
