Abstract

We detail the comparison on laser performance of A-O Q-switching Nd:GdVO₄ and Nd:YVO₄ lasers operated at 1.06μm. The results reveal that Nd:YVO₄ crystal, compared with Nd:GdVO₄ crystal, is a more favorable gain medium when higher repetition rates and shorter pulse width are desired, owning to its larger stimulated emission cross-section.
