Neodymium Doped Yttrium Vanadate (Nd:YVO4) crystal

    Neodymium Doped Yttrium Orthvanadate (Nd:YVO4) is one of the most efficient laser host crystal currently existing for diode laser-pumped solid-state lasers. Its large stimulated emission cross-section at lasing wavelength, high absorption coefficient and wide absorption bandwidth at purrip wavelcngth, high lnscr induced darraye threshold as well as good physical9 optical and mechanical properties make Nd:YVO4 an excellent crysta for the high power, stable and cost-effective diode lasenpumped solid-state tasers. Recent developments have shown that Nd:YVO4 micro-lasers can produce powerful and stable IR and green or red lasers with the design of Nd:YVO4 + KTP.
