Abstract

High efficiency, low threshold laser performance of Nd³⁺ doped Sr₅(PO₄)₃F, or S‐FAP, crystals has been demonstrated. Its performance and properties compared with commercially available Nd:YVO₄ indicate that Nd:S‐FAP is an outstanding medium for diode pumped laser applications at both 1.059 and 1.328 μm.
