Spectral-luminescent properties of the Nd3+-activated laser liquid based upon POCl3-SnCI4 upon excitation by-products of nuclear reactions have been researched. It was concluded that the main luminescence characteristics such as T, Δλ, and λmax depend slightly upon the way of the medium excitation. It was obtained that the pumping efficiency δ of the upper working level is directly proportional to the activator ions' concentration and almost independent of the uranyl presence in the liquid. The measured values t, Δλ, λmax, and δ were used for the estimates of some parameters of nuclear-pumped lasers based upon phosphorus oxychloride. The effect of the Nd3+ ions laser action from the 4F3/2 level to the 4I11/2 level (λ = 1,050 nm) in aprotic liquids POCI3-SnCl4 in the presence of uranium by flashlamp pumping has been obtained.
