摘要
Laser-diode pumped continuous-wave performance of a new class Nd:LuxGd1-xVO4 crystals at 1.34 mu m was demonstrated for the first time to our knowledge A maximum output power of 2.25 W was obtained at the incident power of 11.96 W with x = 0. 14, giving the corresponding conversion efficiency of 18.8%. Efficient emission cross-sections of the mixed crystals were calculated for different x. The influence of Lu composition x on the variations of laser and emission was also discussed.
