Experiment results show that the former has larger absorption cross section (3.261×10 -19 cm 2) and larger emission cross section (9 283×10 -20 cm 2). The heat conductivity of Nd∶GdVO 4 is similar to that of Nd∶YAG, therefore it is a promising crystal for LD pumped laser. It is used to gain compact, high effect and all solid state lasers. The absorption spectra and fluorescence spectra were reported and the relationship between spectra and crystal structure was analyzed. Characteristics of energy levels of Nd 3+ in the Nd∶GdVO 4 crystal were discussed. The possibility of achieving laser oscillation at 0.91 μm was discussed.展开更多
