Abstract

The production of the laser host material YVO₄ via high temperature solution growth (HTSG) is described as a facile alternative for producing optical quality crystals for research. The effects of dopant concentration on optical absorption properties in 0.7% and 3% Nd:YVO₄ crystals are discussed. The rare earth ions Ho³⁺ and Er³⁺ have been doped into YVO₄ with the HTSG method, and inaugural optical properties of Ho_0.04Y_0.96VO₄ are presented.
