Induced-emission cross sections for the4F3/2→4I13/2transition in neodymium laser glasses

Induced-emission cross sections for the
⁴
F_{3/2} \rightarrow
⁴
I_{13/2}
transition of Nd
³⁺
in several commercial and experimental laser glasses have been determined using spectroscopic data and the Judd-Ofelt treatment of electric-dipole transition probabilities.
