Description

Among the rare earths, Nd has been one of the most popular laser active ions, however in recent times there is lot of interest on other ions like Yb as it has low quantum defect. This talk shall focus mainly on the growth of rare earth doped YVO4 single crystals by optical floating zone technique. Single crystals of YVO4 doped with rare earth is widely used for compact diode pumped solid state lasers as it offers several advantages like high slope efficiency, low laser threshold, wide pumping bandwidth and linearly polarized emission
