Abstract

The laser outputs of 1.26, 0.95, 0.5 and 0.32at% Nd-doped concentrations in Nd:YVO4 crystal samples were performed under high pumping power of laser diode. The reason of different Nd-doped concentrations in Nd:YVO4 crystals influencing on the laser output properties was explained. The intracavity double frequency laser outputs of Nd:YVO4 crystal at 532 and 671 nm were also performed. Our experimental results show that the optimum Nd-doped concentration in Nd:YVO4 crystal is about 0.5at% under a pumping power of 30 W. © 2002 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
