Predicting the properties of glass based on compositional and structural information is a fundamental issue with enormous practical and industrial significance for the study of laser glass. Here we address this problem and demonstrate the application of phase diagram method in predicting the spectroscopic properties of Nd 3+ ‐doped binary and ternary silicate, binary phosphate, and borate laser glasses from their initial congruently melting compounds. In particular, spectroscopic properties, such as effective linewidth (Δ λ eff ) and fluorescence branching ratio ( β ) can be precisely predicted in all glass systems with an error less than 5%. Furthermore, a composition–structure–property database of Nd 3+ ‐doped ternary silicate glass system is established and preliminarily applied to the composition design and explanation of commercial glass. This study provides interpretable predictions of the optical and spectroscopic properties for Nd 3+ ‐doped laser glasses.
