Nd:YVO4 – Neodymium doped yttrium vanadate

Lasers

Nd:YVO₄ is a neodymium-doped crystal with high absorption and gain that produces naturally polarized laser light, enabling compact, efficient, low-threshold diode-pumped lasers with strong output at 1064 nm.

Nd:YVO₄ is a neodymium-doped crystal widely used in diode-pumped solid-state lasers, known for its high absorption coefficient, strong gain, and natural birefringence that produces linearly polarized output; compared to Nd:YAG, it enables more compact and efficient laser designs with lower threshold power and strong emission typically at 1064 nm, though it has lower thermal conductivity and is more sensitive to thermal effects.

What are the primary lasing wavelengths of Nd:YVO4?

Nd:YVO4 primarily emits at 1064 nm, with additional transitions at 1342 nm and 914 nm, all of which can be frequency-doubled or otherwise converted.

Why does Nd:YVO4 produce linearly polarized output?

Due to its natural birefringence as a uniaxial crystal, Nd:YVO4 produces linearly polarized laser emission without requiring additional polarizing elements.

How does Nd:YVO4 compare to Nd:YAG for diode-pumped lasers?

Nd:YVO4 has a higher absorption coefficient and stronger gain at 808 nm, enabling more compact, lower-threshold laser designs, though it has lower thermal conductivity and is more sensitive to thermal effects at high power.
