Nd:YVO4

Compared to Nd:YAG, Nd:YVO4 has a larger stimulated emission cross-section and a higher absorption coefficient for pump light. It is an excellent laser crystal suitable for manufacturing laser diode pumps, especially for low and medium power lasers. It can be used to produce all-solid-state lasers with output ranging from near-infrared, green, blue to ultraviolet. Currently, Nd:YVO4 lasers have been widely used in various fields such as material processing, machinery, wafer inspection, medical diagnosis and more.
