According to the knowledge obtained by the present inventors, by replacing part or all of AI, 03 and R10, which were mixed in the glass composition with 8 x 02, in order to improve the drawbacks of conventional phosphate laser glass. ,*Without objectively damaging the stimulated emission cross-section of the phosphate laser glass (the coefficient of thermal expansion can be reduced, and therefore the thermal shock resistance can be increased), a large amount of 8i02 can be added to the phosphate glass. Although it is generally believed that this causes phase splitting or crystallization, the glass composition of the present invention not only does not exhibit such a tendency, but also provides a glass with low concentration quenching of fluorescence. The parties have confirmed.
