  • Abstract
    Laser activity has been achieved in low-phonon energy, moisture-resistant neodymium-doped bromide host crystals, also resulting from the 4F52/+2H92/ level for the first time in any solid-state material. Pump-probe spectra reveal mechanisms feasible for more efficient laser operation.
