Description Nd(Neodymium-doped Yttrium Orthovanadate) crystals are outstanding laser crystals (Nd:YVO4 Crystal) used in the manufacture of semiconductor-pumped solid-state lasers. The key advantage of Nd crystals (Nd:YVO4 Crystal) lies in their high absorption coefficient and wide absorption bandwidth, with a peak absorption at approximately 808 nm. Due to these properties, smaller crystal sizes can be used to create more compact laser devices. Another notable feature of Nd crystals is their uniaxial nature, which enables them to emit linearly polarized light. When combined with frequency-doubling crystals, Nd can produce green, blue, and red wavelengths, making it suitable for various solid-state laser applications.
