900 nm infrared laser emission and second harmonic generation of Nd doped ASL Sr1−xLax−yNdyMgxAl12−xO19 (0.05 ≤ x ≤ 0.5; y = 0.05)

Nd: ASL crystals Sr1−xLax−yNdyMgxAl12−xO19 (0.05 = x = 0.5; y = 0.05) were grown by Czochralski. 1.4 W of 901 nm IR output laser was obtained under Ti:sapphire pumping. Intracavity SHG experiments were performed.
