• Introduction：

Neodymium Doped Yttrium Orthovanadate (Nd:YVO₄) is the most efficient laser host crystal for diode pumping among the current commercial laser crystal. This is mainly for its absorption and emission features surpassing Nd: YAG. Pumped by laser diodes, Nd:YVO₄ crystal has been incorporated with high NLO coefficient crystals to frequency-shift the output from the near-infrared to green, blue, or even UV. This incorporation to construct all solid-state lasers is an ideal laser tool that can cover the most widespread applications of lasers.

• Optical Properties：

1) Low lasing threshold and high slope efficiency

2) Low dependency on pump wavelength

3) Large stimulated emission cross-section at the lasing wavelength

4) High absorption over a wide pumping wavelength bandwidth

5) Optically uniaxial and large birefringence emits polarized laser

• Applications：

1) For Single-longitudinal-mode output and compact design

2) Widespread applications of lasers, including machining, material processing, spectroscopy, water inspection, light displays, medical diagnostics, laser printing.
