Rare earth-ion doped, disordered laser crystals have attracted a great deal of research interest because of their broad emission spectra and high thermal conductivity. Nd∶BaLaGa3O7 crystal is grown by the Czochralski method. The polarized absorption, emission spectra, and the fluorescence lifetime are measured at room temperature. The bandwidth at 808 nm is found to be 15 nm. The 4F3/2 →4I11/2 luminescence bandwidth and the stimulated emission cross section are 27 nm and 4.24×10-20 cm2 respectively. The 4F3/2 lifetime is calculated to be 311 μs. Disordered crystal Nd∶BaLaGa3O7 is an excellent ultrafast pulse laser gain material, and the spectroscopic characterization will provide a basis for its laser application.
