Zusammenfassung:A solid-state laser material based on highly transparent cubic Nd3+:Lu2O3 ceramic was developed using nanocrystalline technology and a nonpress vacuum sintering method. Spectroscopic properties of this ceramic laser material were investigated. At room temperature under single-laser diode pumping, efficient continuous wave laser oscillation was demonstrated at two wavelengths of the 4F3/2→4I11/2 channel. The potential application of such a laser material was also discussed.
