✦ Synopsis


We discovered several new nonlinear-laser χ (3)properties in tetragonal YVO 4 vanadate, which is well-known birefringent optical material, host-crystal for lanthanide lasant ions, and attractive gain media for Raman laser converters. We hope that observed many-phonon SRS, almost sesqui-octave Stokes and anti-Stokes lasing comb, cascaded self-frequency "tripling" and self-sum-frequency generation in the blue spectral range could significantly enriche applied potential of this crystal.
