The Japan Society of Applied Physics (JSAP) serves as an academic interface between science and engineering and an interactive platform for academia and the industry. JSAP is a "conduit" for the transfer of fundamental concepts to the industry for development and technological applications.
JSAP was established as an official academic society in 1946, and since then, it has been one of the leading academic societies in Japan. The society's interests cover a broad variety of scientific and technological fields, and JSAP continues to explore state-of-the-art and interdisciplinary topics.
To this end, the JSAP holds annual conferences; publishes scientific journals; actively sponsors events, symposia, and festivals related to science education; and compiles information related to state-of-the-art technology for the public.

We have demonstrated CW one-micron laser oscillation in new ceramic laser material on the base of cubic Nd3+:Y2O3. Slope efficiency of 32% was achieved on an uncoated 1.5 at.% Nd3+:Y2O3 ceramic plate with size of φ14 ×2.7 mm under laser diode end-pumping.
