A review is given of spectral, luminescent, lasing, and some physicochemical properties of concentrated neodymium phosphate glasses (CNPG's). Causes of weak quenching of Nd 3+ luminescence in CNPG's are discussed. It is shown that various low-threshold high-efficiency lasers emitting at 1.06 and 1.32 μ may be developed using CNPG's. In terms of their energy characteristics, pulsed and pulse-periodic CNPG lasers are superior to similar lasers utilizing Y 3 Al 5 O 12 :Nd 3 crystals.
