We describe the output performances of the 1.34-μm 4 F 3/2 → 4 I 13/2 transition in Nd-doped vanadates under in-band pumping with diode lasers at the 0.88-μm wavelength, directly into the 4 F 3/2 emitting level. An end-pumped Nd:YVO 4 crystal yielded 3.4 W of continuous-wave (CW) output power for 9.
