1.2.3 Glass Amplifiers
Ion-glass systems used as amplifiers or in which only gain has been reported are listed in
Table 1.2.5. The amplifying ion, host glass (if codopants or sensitizing ions are added, they
are listed in parentheses), glass form, lasing wavelength, lasing transition, and pump
wavelength are tabulated together with references.
