Abstract

Growth conditions for Nd:YVO₄ crystals and some optical properties are presented. The obtained Nd:YVO₄ crystal shows lower content of point defects and consequently, lower susceptibility to ionizing radiation. ESR measurements show the presence of V ions in interstitial sites with another than 5t valency. Obtained by Czochralski method crystals reveal very good optical properties, some of which are better than for Nd:YAG.
