Laser Properties of Composite Nd:GdVO4 Single Crystal Grown by The Double Die EFG Method
Composite structures in GdVO<sub>4</sub> single crystals were directly grown by double die EFG method, which enables 3-mm core of Nd:GdVO<sub>4</sub> inside 5-mm clad of pure GdVO<sub>4</sub>. Laser oscillation of our composite was successfully demonstrated.
