Based on the Judd-Ofelt theory, the three parameters of line oscillator strength Omega((lambda)) (lambda = 2, 4 and 6) of the Nd3+ ion in the crystal were calculated as follows: Omega(2) = 1.194 x 10(-20), Omega(4) = 4.186 x 10(-20) and Omega(6) = 3.351 x 10(-20) cm(2), Which are relatively larger.
