Abstract
We have developed a new laser material based on silica glass (Nd-doped silica glass) with high optical quality and high quantum yield, and demonstrated a high energy laser oscillation. Since the maximum output laser energy reaches up to 37.3 J and its thermal shock parameter (12.0W/cm) is 1.5 times larger than Nd: YAG (7.9 W/cm), this medium is expected to work as a high-peak-and high-average-power laser in the range of-100J/10Hz. We also discuss some applications on Nd-doped silica glass.
