Nd:YVO4
Neodymium Doped Yttrium Vanadate
This material has been growing in popularity because of Yttrium Vanadate’s high gain, low lasing threshold and high absorption coefficients at pumping wavelengths, which result from the excellent fit of the neodymium dopant in the crystal lattice.
These advantages make Nd:YVO4 a better choice than Nd:YAG for low-power devices and more compact lasers.
Roditi is able to supply Nd:YVO4 crystals with cross-sections from 1x1m to 16x16mm, with a length of up to 20mm. Nd dopant levels are available from 0.1 atm% to around 3.0 atm%. AR and HT coatings in a variety of combinations can be specified for the crystals.
