Abstract

We detail the comparison on laser performance of Nd:GdVO₄ and Nd:YVO₄ lasers at high repetition rates operated at 1.06μm under direct diode pumping of the upper laser level. The results reveal that Nd:GdVO₄ and Nd:YVO₄ are efficient laser crystals for solid-state lasers under direct pumping of the emitting level. However, Nd:YVO₄ crystal, compared with Nd:GdVO₄ crystal, is a more favorable gain medium when higher repetition rates and shorter pulse width are desired, owning to its larger stimulated emission cross-section.
