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 ionising 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.
