|a Laser emission has been observed in a samarium<sup>3+</sup>-doped silica optical fibre in a Fabry-Perot-type laser cavity. The emission is centred on 651 nm and corresponds to stimulated transitions from the <sup>4</sup>G<sub>5/2</sub> level to the <sup>6</sup>H<sub>9/2</sub> level. The fluorescence and absorption associated with the metastable level are seen to be unusually narrow (3nm FWHM) for a trivalent rare earth in a disordered glass structure. The laser has operated in CW and Q-switched modes when pumped with 488 nm light at room temperature.
