Nd:GdVO4 Crystals and Components for 1060nm&1340nm

Nd:GdVO4 Crystal (Neodymium-doped gadolinium orthovanadate) acts as a good gain medium in lasers. The output wavelength of Nd:GdVO4 Crystal is mainly concentrated in 1060nm and 1340nm.

Nd: YVO4 Crystal is well known in the solid laser field for its high chemical stability and its excellent laser performance. But it cannot be used in high power laser field because of its thermal conductivity coefficient is not high. Compared with Nd:YVO4 Crystal, It not only has many advantages of Nd: YVO4 Crystal, but also makes up for the shortage of Nd:YVO4 Crystal in the field of high-power laser due to its relatively high thermal conductivity. It has a very good development prospect.

The Nd:GdVO4 Crystal is used as the gain medium and the wavelength is 1520nm for human eye safe laser motion in ranging, telemetry and other remote sensing applications.

The field of human eye security is between 1500nm to 1600nm. By the research of Raman scattering, it is found that the self-frequency Raman laser can move to 1174nm-1175nm. Therefore, Nd: GdVO4 Crystal under pull-diffuse reflection can realize the development of a human eye safety laser with a wavelength of 1340nm and 1520nm. Such a laser can be widely used in various remote sensing applications and has a good development prospect

It is a kind of laser crystal product with excellent comprehensive performance. It is widely used in telemetry, ranging and remote sensing. The product has the characteristics of good thermal conductivity, large excited emission cross section and high laser damage threshold. Can be used in laser diode pumped all solid state (DPSS) micro laser, ladar, remote sens- ing satellite products.
