Abstract
We report continuous wave laser emission from a samarium3+ doped silica fibre laser on a transition hitherto unreported in any material. Previously laser emission has only been observed from samarium3+ in a crystalline host3 with emission at a different wavelength (593 nm) when cooling to 116K was required.
