Neodymium Doped Yttrium Orthovanadate (Nd:YVO4) stands out as the most efficient laser host crystal for diode pumping, especially in low to middle power density applications. Its absorption and emission features surpass those of Nd:YVO4 making it highly sought after in the laser industry. Nd:YVO4 when pumped by laser diodes and paired with high NLO coefficient crystals like LBO, BBO, or KTP, enables frequency shifting from near-infrared to green, blue, or even UV. This makes it a versatile tool for numerous applications, including:

• Machining
• Material Processing
• Spectroscopy
• Wafer Inspection
• Light Displays
• Medical Diagnostics
• Laser Printing
• Data Storage

Nd:YVO4 diode-pumped solid-state lasers are rapidly replacing traditional water-cooled ion lasers and lamp-pumped lasers, particularly where compact design and single-longitudinal-mode output are required.

Advantages over Nd:YAG:

• Higher Absorption Efficiency: Approximately five times larger absorption efficiency over a wide pumping bandwidth around 808 nm, resulting in lower dependency on pumping wavelength and a strong tendency toward single-mode output.
• Larger Stimulated Emission Cross-Section: About three times larger at the lasing wavelength of 1064 nm.
• Lower Lasing Threshold and Higher Slope Efficiency
• Uniaxial Crystal with Large Birefringence: Ensures linearly polarized emission.
