| Abstract: | A Nd3+:Na2La4(WO4)7 crystal with dimensions of ? 17 × 30 mm3 was grown by the Czochralski method. The thermal expansion coefficients of Nd3+:Na2La4(WO4)7 crystal are 1.32 × 10?5 K?1 along c-axis and 1.23 × 10?5 K?1 along a-axis, respectively. The spectroscopic characteristics of Nd3+:Na2La4(WO4)7 crystal were investigated. The Judd–Ofelt theory was applied to calculate the spectral parameters. The absorption cross sections at 805 nm are 2.17 × 10?20 cm2 with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 15 nm for π-polarization, and 2.29 × 10?20 cm2 with a FWHM of 14 nm for σ-polarization. The emission cross sections are 3.19 × 10?20 cm2 for σ-polarization and 2.67 × 10?20 cm2 for π-polarization at 1,064 nm. The fluorescence quantum efficiency is 67 %. The quasi-cw laser of Nd3+:Na2La4(WO4)7 crystal was performed. The maximum output power is 80 mW. The slope efficiency is 7.12 %. The results suggest Nd3+:Na2La4(WO4)7 crystal as a promising laser crystal fit for laser diode pumping. |
