摘要	Herein, a Nd-doped GdLaNbO4 (Nd: GLNO) single crystal has been grown successfully using the Czochralski method. The segregation coefficient of Nd3+ ions in the Nd: GLNO crystal is measured to be 0.71. The X-ray power diffraction patterns of the Nd: GLNO crystal confirm that the as-grown crystal has the same crystal structure as pure GdNbO4. The structural parameters of the as-grown crystal are obtained via an X-ray Rietveld refinement method. The absorption spectrum, fluorescence spectrum, and fluorescence decay curve of Nd: GLNO were obtained at room temperature. The small emission cross-section at 1065 nm and long fluorescence lifetime of Nd3+ ions (176.4 mu s) indicate that the Nd: GLNO crystal is suitable for generating an ultrashort pulse laser. A maximum continuous wave (CW) laser output power of 957 mW is achieved at 1.06 mm, corresponding to an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 30.3% and slope efficiency of 34.2%. All the obtained results imply that this crystal is a novel mixed niobate-based laser host suitable for laser diode pumps.
