“…Since then, this crystal has been widely studied and used in moderate and even high power lasers. Up to now, over 100 W Nd:GdVO 4 lasers have been achieved with the efciency of 40% [17]. The shortest Nd:GdVO 4 laser pulse is 2.8 ps [18].…”

Based on the invention and widely application of the Czochralski pulling method, vanadate crystals have been grown and commercialized in recent decades. In this paper, the growth and characterization of a series of neodymium doped vanadate crystals have been reviewed, including Nd:YVO4, Nd:GdVO4, and Nd:LuVO4. The excellent thermal-mechanical and laser property make them to be used in many respects.

The laser diode (LD) partially end-pumped slab laser with hybrid resonator is a kind of novel solidstate laser that can achieve high power with high beam quality. Using this configuration, taking Nd:YVO 4 as the slab gain media, a 123 W output was obtained when the pumping power was 265 W, and the optical-to-optical efficiency and slope efficiency were 46.4% and 52.4%, respectively. The beam quality M 2 factors in the unstable direction and the stable direction were 1.3 at the output power of 98 W.

“…Although Nd:GdVO 4 has a reduced stimulated emission cross section in comparison with Nd:YVO 4 , it has attracted much interest due to various superior natures including broader absorption bandwidth at 808 nm, higher thermal conductivity, and damage threshold. For operation at CW state with TEM 00 mode output, Nd:GdVO 4 has been demonstrated to generate very large average output power (> 100 W) [6] and show relative high conversion and slope efficiency [7].…”

Regular and robust Q-switched and mode-locked (QML) pulses are produced in Nd:GdVO4 laser by the integration of nonlinear mirror and semiconductor saturable absorber mirror. The threshold of QML operation is increased by putting the SESAM in laser cavity with large beam radius. The nonlinear mirror absorber can further increase nonlinear loss modulation of pulses to produce the stable and periodic QML pulses.
