Abstract
Polarized 4F3/2→4I11/2 and 4F3/2→4F9/2 emission of Nd3+ in silicate laser glasses are measured using resonant and nonresonant fluorescence line narrowing techniques. The observed depolarization ratio is a measure of the anisotropy of the stimulated emission cross section and the degree of polarization hole burning that will occur for lasers operating in the large-signal gain regime.
