The glass samples of SiO₂-Al₂O₃-CdO-Li₂O-K₂O-Na₂O with different Nd³⁺-doped concentration are prepared by high-temperature solid-state reaction method, and test the absorption spectrums as well as emission spectrum excited at 488 nm, 532 nm and 808 nm. The third-order optical nonlinear properties of glasses samples are investigated by the z-scan technique. With the increment of doping concentration of Nd³⁺, the third-order nonlinear refractive index and the absorption index increase, so it belongs to the self-focusing and reverse saturated absorption medium. The glass samples open a outlook of application for nonlinear optical medium and excellent luminescence materials.
