Abstract
The absorption properties of Nd:YVO4 crystals with various doping levels an d lengths are reported. The effective stimulated emission cross-sections of different doping levels are calculated with measured upper-level lifetimes . Our investigation gives good advice on the optimization of LD end-pumped Nd:YVO4 laser. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
