Zusammenfassung:Laser glass host compositions for effective lasing amounts of Nd2O3 are disclosed, the host compositions comprising TeO2, PbO and ZnO in certain molar amounts. Methods of making highly efficient laser articles, including laser rods, also are disclosed. The new use of the above-described TeO2/PbO/ZnO glass compositions for forming laser articles are disclosed, the new use including forming laser articles from the glasses; pumping the laser articles to provide an energy inversion; and lasing the pumped articles.
