Abstract
The 946-nm 4F3/2 → 4I9/2 transition in Nd3+ has a significantly smaller stimulated emission cross section than the more, commonly used 1.064-μm transition and also suffers from reabsorption losses at the laser wavelength resulting horn the lower laser level being within the ground state manifold.
