Abstract

We present the laser properties of continuous-grown Nd:GdVO ₄/GdVO₄ and Nd:YVO₄/YVO₄ composite crystals under LD direct pumping. The maximum CW output powers of 20W with a slope efficiency of 74.9% to absorbed pump power and 32W with 82.7% were obtained in Nd:GdVO₄/GdVO₄ and Nd:YVO₄/YVO ₄ lasers, respectively. To our knowledge, this is the highest slope efficiency obtained in Nd³⁺ lasers. Furthermore, at the repetition rate of 100kHz, the minimum pulse width of 15.0ns and 12.9ns, the peak power of 11.8kW and 22.4kW were obtained for NdiGdVO₄/GdVO₄ and Nd:YVO₄/YVO₄ lasers, respectively.
