Abstract

This work explores the room temperature infrared random laser (RL) performance of Nd³⁺ ions in a new stoichiometric Nd₃Ga₅O₁₂ crystal powder. The time-resolved measurements show that the RL pulse is able to follow the subnanosecond oscillations of the pump pulse profile. The pump threshold energy and the absolute stimulated emission energy have been measured using a method developed by the authors. The laser slope efficiency is the highest compared to other Nd³⁺ stoichiometric RL crystals.
