Abstract
In this paper, we report the polarization absorption spectra from 400 to 85 0 nm, polarization emission spectra from 1050 to 1100 nm and laser properti es of an Nd:GdVO4 crystal. An output power of up to 5.29 W at 1.06 mu m has been achieved with a 3 x 3 x 3 mm Nd:GdVO4 crystal sample when it is pumpe d by a cw laser diode. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
