With Gd ions replacing a fraction of Y ions in Nd: YVO4 crystal, a new class of mixed gadolinium yttrium vanadate crystals Nd: Y1-xGdxVO4 is formed with adjustable laser parameters. As a result, a new laser crystal can be produced with the best stimulated cross-section and fluorescence lifetime as well as the largest thermal conductivity of all known ion-doped laser crystal.
