Fluorescence spectra, absorption spectra and thermal stability properties of Nd3 + -doped phosphate laser glasses were tested in this work. We calculated spectroscopic parameters of Nd3 + -doped phosphate laser glasses according to their absorption spectrum. Measuring and calculating linear thermal expansion coefficient, and analysising thermal stability of glasses show that this kind of Nd3 + -doped phosphate laser glasses has thermal expansion coefficient α = 38.75× 10 -7/℃ and optimal spectroscopic properties which extend application range of Nd +3-doped phosphate laser glasses.
