    Abstract

    The polarised absorption and fluorescence spectra of Nd:Gd0.8La0.2VO4 crystal are measured and compared to those of Nd:GdVO4. CW laser properties of diode-pumped Nd:Gd0.8La0.2VO4 crystal operating at fundamental wavelengths of 1.06 and 1.34 μm, as well as when intracavity frequency-doubled to 532 and 670 nm, have been studied. The maximum output powers at 1.06 μm, 1.34 μm, 532 nm and 670 nm are 1.18 W, 671 mW, 206 mW and 42 mW respectively, at a diode-launched pump power of 2.9 W. The threshold pump powers are 80, 267, 7 and 15 mW respectively. © 2001 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
