Abstract
The optical properties of Nd3+-doped fluoride BIGaZLuTMn glass have been investigated by using steady-state and time-resolved laser spectroscopy. Laser action has been obtained for the first time in this glass by flashlamp pumping. The influence of site-dependent effects on fluorescence lifetime and time-resolved stimulated emission has been proved
