✦ Synopsis

The polarised absorption and uorescence spectra of Nd : Gd0:8La0:2VO4 crystal are measured and compared to those of Nd : GdVO4. CW laser properties of diode-pumped Nd : Gd0:8La0:2VO4 crystal operating at fundamental wavelengths of 1.06 and 1:34 m, as well as when intracavity frequency-doubled to 532 and 670 nm, have been studied. The maximum output powers at 1:06 m, 1:34 m; 532 nm and 670 nm are 1:18 W; 671 mW; 206 mW and 42 mW respectively, at a diode-launched pump power of 2:9 W. The threshold pump powers are 80, 267, 7 and 15 mW respectively.
