Abstract

Nd³⁺ -doped LaBO₂ MoO₄ with noncentrosymmetric monoclinic structure is presented as a new laser crystal. By Xe-flashlamp pumping at 300 K its pulsed stimulated emission (SE) at two wavelengths of the ⁴F_3/2 ? ⁴I_11/2 generation channel was excited. A tentative identilication of the observed SE transitions and measurements of some spectroscopic characteristics are given. The occurrence of a structural phase transition with a large temperature hysteresis was proved by means of thermal analysis. Despite of this, large crystals of LaBO₂MoO₄: Nd³⁺ were grown by the top-seeding method. Based on its SE- and (_X⁽²⁾ + _X⁽³⁾-active properties we classify this crystal as a promising material for self-frequency doubting and self-Raman lasers. A graph is presented. Sample of (La_1-xNd_x) BO₂MoO₄ prepared from a crystal grown from the melt.
