CASIX applies Czochralski (CZ) crystal growth technology to grow high-grade Nd: YVO4 crystals. With strict control of materials and the growth process, our Nd: YVO4 crystals feature low-lasing wavelength absorption and high conversion efficiency. CASIX offers Nd: YVO4 crystal boules with doping rates from 0.1 atm% to 4.0 atm% and crystal components in various sizes and coatings.
Main Features:
• Low lasing threshold and high slope efficiency
• Large stimulated emission cross-section at lasing wavelength
• High absorption over a wide pumping wavelength bandwidth
• Optical uniaxial and large birefringence emits polarized laser light
