Frequently Asked Questions

Nd:YVO4 crystal is used as a laser host crystal for diode pumping in various applications such as machining, material processing, spectroscopy, wafer inspection, light displays, medical diagnostics, laser printing, and data storage.

Nd:YVO4 has a larger absorption coefficient over a wide pumping bandwidth, larger stimulated emission cross-section at the lasing wavelength of 1064nm, lower lasing threshold, higher slope efficiency, and emits only a linearly polarized laser due to its uniaxial crystal structure.

The doping concentration range available for Nd:YVO4 crystal is from 0.1% to 3%.

CASTECH provides coatings such as both ends AR/AR-1064/808nm, S1: HR@1064&532nm, HT808nm, R>99.8%@1064&532nm, T>90%@808nm, S2: AR@1064&532nm, R<0.2%@1064nm, R<0.5%@532nm, S1: HR@1064, HT808, R>99.8%@1064nm, T>95%@808nm, S2: AR@1064, R<0.1%@1064nm, and S3: gold/chrome plated.

The quality warranty period for Nd:YVO4 crystal is one year under proper use.
