Laser Medium from Glass Material

Abstract

The work reported in this review paper provides detailed information of Laser’s and their applications. Especially when rare-earth ions doped in glasses would make them potential candidates for Laser device applications. Details of the critical parameters such as emission cross-sections and other parameters related to the potential use as lasing glass have been discussed. Comparison of the recent literatures with that of the commercially available phosphate glasses have been listed. Certain oxide glasses doped with Nd³⁺ ions which are fabricated in CEGM laboratory, Nakhon Pathom Rajabhat University, Thailand, were listed and presented.
