An investigation was made of the physicochemical, spectroscopic, and lasing properties of lanthanum neodymium magnesium hexaaluminate single crystals. It was found that concentration quenching of the neodymium luminescence was fairly weak in these crystals. Lasing in these crystals was studied in the 1.06 μ range at 300 K. Prospects for using hexaaluminate in laser technology are discussed.
