title: Laser demonstration of diode-laser-pumped neodymium-doped strontium fluorovanadate.
abstract: The laser properties of diode-laser-pumped neodymium-doped strontium fluorovanadate samples cut perpendicular to the x(a) and y axes have been investigated. A slope efficiency of 36% for the 1.065-µm laser line and a lasing threshold of 6.8 mW have been measured for the x(a)-axis-cut crystal. Data are also presented for the laser's performance as a function of crystal temperature and for the variation of the central peak wavelength with the incident pump power.
