Nd:GdVO4 Crystals, 0.1%Doping, 2.3 mm Length

Neodymium-doped gadolinium vanadate (Nd:GdVO4) crystal is a promising laser material. Similar to the better known Nd:YVO4 crystal, the Nd:GdVO4 crystal also exhibits high gain, low threshold and high absorption coefficient at the pump wavelength. Furthermore, Nd:GdVO4 has the additional advantage of higher thermal conductivity than Nd:YVO4. We can provide various specifications of Nd:GdVO4 crystals.
