Nd:YVO4
Nd:YVO4 is a commercial diode-pumped laser crystal,especially for low/medium powers,with higher pump absorption and stimulated-emission cross-section than Nd:YAG. With LBO,BBO orKTP it supports efficient frequency conversion into near-IR,green,blue and UV solid-state lasers. It is described as replacing water-cooled ion/lamppumped lasers,particularly in compact single-longitudinal-mode systems.

Key Features
Comparison list: pump band near808nm about5×Nd:YAG,reduced pump-wavelength dependence/single-mode tendency;1064nm stimulated-emission cross-section3×Nd:YAG,low threshold,high slope efficiency and linearly polarized uniaxial birefringence. Doping0.1-3%; control±0.05% forat.%<1%,±0.1% forat.%≥1%. Maximum dimensions printedϕ20x40 mm3,not interpreted as a volume or silently converted. Monthly capacity10000pieces,size3x3x0.5mm to4x4x8mm; fast delivery/competitive pricing. Absorption near808nm is described as5×Nd:YAG,with bandwidth2.4-6.3×,allowing smaller compact crystals,lower pump power,longer diode life,more diode choices/lower cost. A later orientation-specific claim gives a-axis cross-section at1064nm about4×Nd:YAG,and at1340nm18×Nd:YAG at1.3um,with high1342nm CW efficiency and strong single-line emission. Linear polarization avoids birefringence interference in doubling; the source calls Nd:YAG a high-symmetry tetragonal crystal,retained literally. Fluorescence lifetime is described as2.7times shorter,but high pump quantum efficiency still permits high slope efficiency.
