Complete room temperature absorption, excited-state absorption and emission spectra of Nd:GGG have been registered and calibrated in cross section units in the near infrared around the main pump and laser emission transitions of Nd:GGG. ► Complete emission and excited-state absorption spectra are reported for the first time. ► No ESA occurs at the main emission lines around 1062 and 1410nm. ► ESA does occur around the emission line at 1331nm.
