Nd:YVO4: Superior Performance for Diode-Pumped Lasers
Nd:YVO4 (Neodymium Doped Yttrium Orthovanadate) is the leading laser host crystal for diode-pumped systems, particularly in low to middle power density applications. Its unique properties enable precision, versatility, and efficiency across various professional uses.
Key Features and Advantages:
- Higher Absorption Efficiency: Absorption efficiency around 808 nm is approximately five times larger than Nd:YAG, ensuring lower dependency on pump wavelength and consistent single-mode output.
- Larger Stimulated Emission Cross-Section: Three times larger at the 1064 nm lasing wavelength for higher energy output.
- Lower Lasing Threshold: Enables improved slope efficiency for better energy conversion.
- Uniaxial Crystal with High Birefringence: Guarantees linearly polarized emission for enhanced performance.
Versatile Applications:
- Precision machining and material processing.
- High-accuracy wafer inspection in semiconductor manufacturing.
- Advanced spectroscopy and medical diagnostics.
- Light displays, laser printing, and data storage solutions.
Integration with Nonlinear Crystals:
When paired with high NLO coefficient crystals like LBO, BBO, or KTP, Nd:YVO4 enables frequency shifting to green, blue, or UV light, enhancing versatility for advanced laser systems.
