    Stimulated emission (F-4(3/2) -> I-4(11/2) channel) with LD and Xe-flashlamp pumping of tetragonal, incommensurately modulated Ca2MgSi2O7:Nd3+(Na+) - a new disordered laser crystal

    Non-centrosymmetric tetragonal crystal Ca2MgSi2O7:Nd3+(Na+) with incommensurately modulated melilite-type structure is presented as a new laser crystal. By LD and Xe-flashlamp pumping its CW and free-running pulsed stimulated emission of the F-4(3/2) -> I-4(11/2) generation channel of Nd3+ lasant ions was excited.

    Efficient room-temperature Stokes and anti-Stokes chi((3))-nonlinear picosecond generation, which spans more than two octaves (approximate to 23012 cm(-1)) has been observed in a natural crystal of orthorhombic SrSO4 (celestine). All recorded lasing lines in the visible and near-IR regions are identified and attributed to its SRS-promoting vibration mode omega(SRS) approximate to 999 cm(-1). [GRAPHICS] (C) 2010 by Astro Ltd.
