The transmission spectra, emission spectra, and fluorescence decay curves were measured. Lasing at 1064 and 1065 nm was observed in Nd,Y:CaF2 and Nd,La:CaF2, respectively, upon quasi-continuous-wave pumping by a diode laser emitting at 791 nm. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of Nd3+-activated CaF2 ceramic laser.}, pages = {3378--3381}, title = {Nd3+-activated CaF2 ceramic lasers}, volume = {44}, year = {2019} }
