Abstract
Room‐temperature laser action is reported in Nd3+ : CeCl3. The observed threshold was 0.06 J compared to 0.13 J for Nd3+ : YAG. Stronger pump bands and higher laser transition cross sections of neodymium‐doped anhydrous trichlorides of cerium and lanthanum render these materials superior to Nd3+ : YAG for miniaturized and thin‐film laser applications.Keywords
