Neodymium-doped vanadates have proved very successful materials for miniature diode-pumped lasers because of their high optical absorption at the 808-nm diode wavelength and their high cross section for stimulated emission at 1064 and 1342 nm. Vanadates, like most laser crystals, usually are grown from a melt in a crucible, and their high melting temperature (~1850 °C) can limit crucible lifetime and can lead to contamination of the melt. The need for a crucible can be eliminated by the floating-zone method, but researchers at the Universidade de São Paulo in Brazil have fabricated...Read full article
