The invention relates to a Nd-doped, aluminate-based or silicate-based, laser glass having a peak emission wavelength that is longer than 1059.7nm, an emission cross section (à em ) of ‰¥ 1.5 x10 -20 cm 2 , and/or an emission bandwidth (”» eff ) of ‰¥ 28 nm, while maintaining properties that render the glass suitable for commercial use, such as low glass transition temperature Tg and low nonlinear index, n 2 .
