• Introduction：

Neodymium Doped Gadolinium Orthovanadate (Nd:GdVO₄) is a promising material for diode-pumped lasers. Similar to Nd:YVO₄ crystals, Nd:GdVO₄ crystals also show a low threshold and high absorption coefficient at the pump wavelength, which is attributed to the excellent coordination of neodymium dopants in the lattice. Compared with Nd:YVO₄, Nd:GdVO₄ has a higher thermal conductivity.

• Optical Properties：

1) Large stimulated emission cross-section at laser wavelength

2) High absorption coefficient and wide bandwidth at the pump wavelength

3) Low dependency on pump wavelength

4) Good thermal conductivity

5) Low lasing threshold and high slope efficiency

6) High laser-induced damage threshold

7) Strongly-polarized laser output

• Applications：

1) Telemetry

2) Ranging

3) remote sensing

4) Laser diode-pumped all-solid-state (DPSS) miniature lasers
