Paper Abstract
We compare the laser performance of a-axis and c-axis grown Nd:YVO4 crystals produced by the Czochralski method, and quantify the internal losses in the crystals. Crystal sets of 0.7%, and 0.27% Nd3+ dopant concentration were measured in a laser cavity pumped by an 808 nm diode laser. For both sets, the a-axis grown crystals showed higher peak power outputs, higher slope efficiencies, and lower losses.
