Abstract
A method for the simultaneous measurement of the stimulated emission cross section and fluorescence lifetime by studying the relation between laser parameters and the laser relaxation oscillation frequency is discussed. The stimulated emission cross section for the /sup 4/F/sub 3/2/-/sup 4/I/sub 13/2/ transition of Nd/sup 3+/ ion in YAP crystal was measured to be (22+or-1)*10/sup -20/ cm/sup 2/.<>
