2.11.2 Laser Glasses

Compositions of commercial laser glasses are rarely published. Most current glasses are similar to the following:

Silicate glasses of the Li2O-CaO-SiO2 or Li2O-Na2O-SrO-SiO2 type. Examples of these glasses include the Schott LG-680, Kigre Q-246, and Hoya LSG-91H. These

glasses generally have excellent physical properties and, because of their high Li2O content, can be strengthened by ion exchange. Therefore, these glasses can be very

resistant to thermal shock.

Potassium-barium-phosphate glasses with a high cross section for stimulated emission. Examples of these glasses include Schott LG-760, Hoya LGH-80, and Kigre Q-98.

These glasses are often modified with Na2O, Li2O, Al2O3, etc. to produce a glass with a near-zero optical distortion. Examples of these athermal glasses include Schott LG-

LG-760, Hoya LGH-8, and Kigre Q-98.

Lithium-aluminum-phosphate glasses with a relatively high thermal shock resistance for high average power applications. These glasses can usually be ion exchanged to further improve their resistance to breakage. Examples of these glasses include Schott APG-1 and Hoya HAP-4.

Fluorophosphate glasses feature a low nonlinear refractive index which reduces spatial beam breakup due to small scale self-focusing. An example is Schott LG-810.

In addition to commercial laser glasses, a large number of different glasses have been used in experimental lasers. Below is a summary of the range of spectroscopic properties that

have been obtained for the 4F3/24I11/2 transition of Nd3+. For additional data of glass lasers, see the Handbook of Lasers (CRC Press, Boca Raton, FL, 2000), p. 161.
