    Nd:YVO4 is an efficient laser crystal used in solid-state lasers. It has a high stimulated emission cross-section, absorbs light strongly over a wide range, and produces polarized laser emission. Nd:YVO4 lasers can have high output power and stability while maintaining a compact size. It performs well at lasing wavelengths of 1064nm and 1342nm with high slope efficiency and low lasing threshold. Common applications include IR, green and blue lasers when used with frequency doubling crystals.

    CRYSTECH Nd:YVO4

    Nd:YVO4

    Introduction

    Nd:YVO4 is one of the most efficient laser host crystal currently existing for diode
    laser-pumped solid-state lasers. Nd:YVO4 is an excellent crystal for high power, stable
    and cost-effective diode pumped solid-state lasers. Nd:YVO4 can produce powerful and
    stable IR, green, blue lasers with the design of Nd:YVO4 and frequency doubling
    crystals. For the applications in which more compact design and the
    single-longitudinal-mode output are needed, Nd:YVO4 shows its particular advantages
    over other commonly used laser crystals.
    Low lasing threshold and high slope efficiency
    Large stimulated emission cross-section at lasing wavelength
    High absorption over a wide pumping wavelength bandwidth
    Optically uniaxial and large birefringence emits polarized laser
    Low dependency on pumping wavelength and tend to single mode output

    Laser Properties:

    The Nd:YVO4 crystal has large stimulated emission cross-sections at both 1064nm and
    1342nm. The stimulated emission cross-section of an a-axis cut Nd:YVO4 crystal at
    1064nm is about 4 times higher than that of the Nd:YAG crystal. Although the lifetime of
    Nd:YVO4 is about 2.7 times shorter than that of Nd:YAG. Because of its high pump
    quantum efficiency, the slope efficiency of Nd:YVO4 can be very high if the laser cavity
    is properly designed.
