Our Nd:YVO₄ crystal, or neodymium-doped yttrium vanadate, is a high-performance laser crystal for diode-pumped solid-state lasers. Nd:YVO₄ is widely used in machinery, materials processing, spectroscopy, wafer inspection, displays, medical testing, laser printing and data storage. It offers good thermal conductivity, a large stimulated-emission cross section, a high laser-damage threshold and a broad absorption band with a peak near 808nm. These advantages allow small crystals to be used in compact laser devices. Its uniaxial nature produces linearly polarized light, and combining it with frequency-doubling crystals enables all-solid-state lasers at green, blue and red wavelengths. Nd:YVO₄ lasers are used throughout machinery, materials processing, spectroscopy, wafer inspection, displays, medical testing, laser printing and data storage. Diode-pumped Nd:YVO₄ solid-state lasers are rapidly replacing traditional water-cooled ion lasers and lamp-pumped lasers, particularly in compact systems and single-longitudinal-mode output. Applications include miniature diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) lasers, lidar and remote-sensing satellites.
