As high as 13.0dB single-pass gain was obtained at 1064.4nm in a thin electro-optic ceramic plate of neodymium doped lanthanum-modified lead zirconate titanate (Nd:PLZT). Pumping with a diode laser, gains were achieved in 1.0 and 0.5mol% Nd ion doped samples over a broad seed laser power ranging from tens of nanowatts to tens of milliwatts at room temperature. The broad absorption spectra of Nd:PLZT made it insensitive to the pump wavelength. The Nd:PLZT had a total scattering loss coefficient of less than 0.06cm−1 and exhibited a considerable quadratic electro-optic coefficient greater than 0.30×10−16m2∕V2.
