Abstract

Abstract We report Nd 3+ -doped Ba(Zr, Mg, Ta)O 3 ceramic lasers. The fluorescence of the ceramics shows characteristic broadband spectra due to the disordered crystalline system and can be tailored by the composition adjustment. The continuous-wave laser operations as well as the first mode-locked laser operation are presented.
