A Nd-doped lutetium orthovanadate Nd:LuVO 4 crystal has been grown using a modified Czochralski method. The thermal properties of this crystal have been studied by measuring the thermal expansion, specific heat and thermal diffusivity. The thermal expansion coefficients are ฮฑ 11 = 1.7 ร 10 -6 , ฮฑ 22

Polarized absorption spectra of Nd:LuVO 4 crystal were measured at room temperature. The optical parameters of ฯ polarization and ฯ polarization were calculated by Judd-Ofelt theory. Meanwhile, the phenomenological intensity parameters: โฆ 2 , โฆ 4 , and โฆ 6 were obtained, then the parameters were use
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 corres
We report for the first time a Nd:LuVO 4 laser operating in a continuous wave (CW) on the true three-level laser at 880 nm, based on the 4 F 3/2 -4 I 9/2 transition. CW 345 mW output power at 880 nm is obtained under 18.2 W of incident pump power. Moreover, the intracavity second-harmonic generation
## Abstract The thermal conductivities of Nd:YAG, M(Y,Gd)VO~4~ crystals were measured at 298 K. The value of Nd:GdVO~4~ crystal along <001> direction was 11.4 W/mK, which was higher than that of YAG crystal measured to be 10.7 W/mK. The principal refractive indices of Nd:GdVO~4~ crystal in the temp
