Nd:LuVO~4~ crystal was used for the most compact and the simplest laser, i.e. the microchip construction. LD (laser diode)-pumped, continuous-wave output property was detected on several Nd:LuVO~4~ microchips with different Nd^3+^ doping level, crystal length, and transmittance of output surface. Wi

โฆ Synopsis
We report diode pumped continuous-wave (CW) laser performance achieved with two types of composite Nd:LuVO 4 crystals operating at 1.06 ฮผm. The maximum output power of 17.2 W was obtained with an optical conversion efficiency of 47.3% with respect to the incident pump power of 36.4 W, and the corresponding slope efficiency was 48.0%. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest CW output power obtained in Nd:LuVO 4 crystal.

Effective CW and A-O Q-switched laser operations were demonstrated firstly using a continuous-grown GdVO 4 /Nd:GdVO 4 composite rod. A maximum CW output power of 19.2 W was obtained with the slope efficiency of 79.6% and the maximum optical-optical efficiency of 73.0% to absorbed pump power. In A-O
Continuous-wave Raman generation on PbWO~4~ crystal placed in the cavity of an end-diode-pumped Nd:YVO~4~ laser is demonstrated. The Raman threshold was measured as 0.9 W of the laser-diode power. The highest output power obtained at the first Stokes wavelength 1177 nm was 178 mW at the laser diode
With a laser-diode (LD) as the pump source, continuous-wave (cw) laser performance at 1.33 ฮผm of Nd:CNGG and Nd:CLNGG crystals was demonstrated for the first time. The maximum power of 158 mW and 141 mW from Nd:CNGG and Nd:CLNGG lasers were obtained with the corresponding optical conversion efficien
