Nd: YVO4-Neodymium Doped Yttrium Orthovanadate
-- Neodymium Doped Yttrium Orthovanadate (Nd:YVO4) is the most efficient laser host crystal for diode pumping among current commercial laser crystals, especially for low to medium power density. This is mainly due to its absorption and emission characteristics, which exceed those of Nd:YAG when pumped by laser diodes.
-- The Nd:YVO4 crystal has been incorporated with high NLO coefficient crystals (LBO, BBO, or KTP) to shift the output frequency from the near infrared to green, blue, or even UV. This incorporation in the construction of all solid-state lasers is an ideal laser tool that can cover the most widespread applications of lasers, including machining, materials processing, spectroscopy, wafer inspection, light displays, medical diagnostics, laser printing, and data storage, etc. It has been shown that Nd:YVO4-based diode-pumped solid-state lasers are rapidly occupying markets traditionally dominated by water-cooled ion lasers and lamp-pumped lasers, especially where compact design and single longitudinal mode output are required.
