Nd: YVO4 crystal qualities

Neodymium doped yttrium vanadate (Nd: YVO4) is a kind of laser crystal extensively utilized at present. It has superb efficiency as well as is among the major laser crystals for semiconductor pumped solid state lasers today. Nd: YVO4 crystal is a tetragonal crystal, belonging to the uniaxial crystal system, which is composed of doped ion Nd and also laser matrix YVO4.

Compared to another frequently utilized Nd: YAG crystal, Nd: YVO4 has the advantage of higher absorption coefficient. In a specific variety of absorption transmission capacity, the absorption effectiveness of Nd: YVO4 is 5 times that of Nd: YAG, the transmission capacity is 2.4-6.3 times that of Nd: YAG, as well as the peak wavelength of the absorption top is reached at concerning 808nm, which has satisfied the requirements of present high-power laser diodes. The boosted sample of Nd: YVO4 at 1064nm and also 1342nm are bigger, and also the boosted random sample of Nd: YAG at 1064nm have to do with 3 times that of Nd: YAG. On top of that, Nd: YVO4 shows high birefringence and reduced damages threshold. These features have good application worth, so that Nd: YVO4 laser size is tiny, with high power. An additional important attribute of Nd: YVO4 is that it is a uniaxial crystal system, which can only produce linearly polarized light. When combined with LBO, BBO and KTP nonlinear crystals, it can attain excellent frequency doubling conversion impact, so that it can result a variety of different kinds of lasers such as near-infrared, eco-friendly, blue and ultraviolet.

Nd: YVO4 laser and also its frequency doubler can be used in optical dimension, sensor, laser printing, medical discovery, high density optical memory and various other fields, and in laser interaction and laser varying applications can be used in rough problems. With the constant development of the globe laser market scale, Nd: YVO4 market area is likewise boosting.
