Abstract: The capabilities of Nd³⁺-activated laser crystals in generating ultraviolet and visible radiation are analysed for the first time. General relationships of the behaviour of the intensity characteristics of intermultiplet radiative transitions from levels of the higher metastable neodymium states ⁴D_3/2 (~28200 cm^-1) and ²P_3/2 (~26100 cm^-1) are determined.
