  • Abstract
    Laser action at 1.0845 μm is demonstrated in a neodymium-doped LiNbO3crystal pumped by 0.7525-μm krypton laser, which happens to coincide with a Nd absorption line. Although LiNbO3is a good laser host, with good electrooptic and acoustooptic properties, laser damage limits its applicability at present unless one is willing to maintain the crystal at 165°C.
