The luminescence of Nd(3+) ions in Nd(x)Y(1-x)Al(3)(BO(3))(4) (Nd:YAB) single crystals has been investigated as a function of the neodymium concentration in order to evidence the relation between the structural and spectroscopic properties in this nonlinear laser system. The analysis of the experimental data allowed us to individuate four different composition ranges. For moderate concentrations (x<0.2) the lattice parameters are nearly constant, and the emission spectra arise from Nd(3+) ions in unperturbed crystal sites. For concentrations in the 0.2 0.9 the final formation of the NdAl(3)(BO(3))(4) (NAB) monoclinic phase is complete, and a new local ordering around Nd(3+) is very evident in the spectral features.
