    FIGURE 1. Near-infrared absorption spectrum of Nd:YVO4. For many years, laser designers exclusively targeted pumping the strong peak at 808 nm. The crystal is normally pumped along its b-axis, and the separate plots refer to light polarized to the a- and c-axes.

    Laser diode pump modules emitting in a longer wavelength window dramatically lower the thermal load challenges in DPSS lasers, simplifying power scaling.
