PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED : To provide glasses for use in solid laser applications, particularly, short-pulsed high peak power laser applications. SOLUTION : The invention relates to a method for broadening the emission bandwidth of rare earth ions used as lasing ions in solid laser glass mediums, especially phosphate-based glass compositions, using Nd and Yb as co-dopants. The invention further relates to a laser system using a Nd-doped and Yb-doped phosphate laser glass, and a method of generating a laser beam pulse using such a laser system.
