We present pulsed laser operation in a Nd-doped, Y 3 Al 5 O 12 -based silica fiber. The fiber was fabricated using the rod-in-tube technique with a Nd:YAG crystal rod as the core material and a silica tube for the cladding material. A spectroscopy study revealed that the core region had become amor...
