ND YVO4 Laser Crystal
Neodymium doped yttrium vanadate (Nd:YVO4) is one of the most promising commercially available diode pumped solid state laser materials. It has high laser induced damage threshold and good mechanical in addition to optical properties. Its large stimulated emission cross-section and high absorption of pump laser make it a right crystal for pocket baby laser. Because of its high pump quantum efficiency, the slope efficiency of Nd:YVO4 can be very high if the laser cavity is properly designed.Fused Silica Optics supplies Nd, Yb and no doped YVO4 crystal.
