Abstract: A novel glass exhibits fluorescence from trivalent neodymium ions at a wavelength of approximately 1.06 micrometers. The glass consists essentially of about 98 weight percent of a host glass and about 2 weight percent of Nd2O3 which contributes trivalent neodymium ions to the glass. The host glass consists essentially of 20 to 80 mol percent of B2O3 and 20 to 80 mol percent of a glass modifier selected from the group consisting of Bi2O3 and a combination of ZnO and P2O5.

Abstract: A laser device comprised of first and second laser cavities having a trivalent neodymium-doped laser rod positioned within said first laser cavity, and a trivalent ytterbium-trivalent erbium-doped laser rod within said second laser cavity. Coupled to said first cavity is a flash tube for producing a state of population inversion within said neodymium-doped rod and the resulting laser energy at 1.06 or 0.92 microns is directed into said ytterbium-erbium rod within said second cavity to produce a state of population inversion within said erbium ions to produce laser energy at 1.5 microns which is coupled from said second cavity to the exterior for utilization.

Abstract: The luminescence of an erbium or erbium-ytterbium doped glass laser rod is sensitized by surrounding the laser rod with a glass cladding containing trivalent molybdenum ions. The trivalent molybdenum ions in the cladding absorb pumping light energy in a wavelength region in which trivalent erbium ions have no strong absorption bands, and the trivalent molybdenum ions fluoresce at a wavelength within an absorption band of the trivalent erbium ions, thereby increasing the pumping light energy absorbed by the erbium laser rod.

Abstract: An elongated laser element is provided with a light energy reflective termination at one end and its opposite end is optically ground and polished normal to the axis of the element to provide a Fresnel-reflective termination at such other end. The laser is adapted to emit stimulated emissive radiation exiting as a beam through its Fresnel-reflective end, and a laser-light transmissive member is supported axially of the element in the path of the emitted beam of light energy. This member has at least one pair of at least partially reflective surfaces which receive laser-light energy from the laser element and reflectively return laser-light energy The path or paths traversed through this member by laser light reflected by one or more reflective surfaces of the member has or have a length equal to an odd integral number of quarter wavelengths at the wavelength of at least one preselected laser-light energy returned by the transmissive member to the laser element substantially augments the stimulated emission by the element of laser-light energy at the wavelength of each such preselected frequency component.
