Abstract

Efficient continuous-wave (CW) laser operation on the 4 F 3/2 → 4 I 9/2 transition of Nd:Y0.53Gd0.47VO4, a mixed vanadate crystal, is demonstrated at room temperature employing a compact plano-concave resonator, generating a polarized output power of 0.39 W at 913.2 nm with 2.85 W of pump power absorbed, the optical-to-optical and slope efficiencies being 14 and 25%, respectively.
