· JVASP-11787· YVO4

Yttrium vanadate (YVO₄) is a crystalline ceramic compound belonging to the rare-earth vanadate family, valued for its optical and laser properties. It is primarily used in solid-state laser systems—particularly as a host material for neodymium (Nd:YVO₄) lasers—and in optical devices requiring high transparency and thermal stability. Engineers select YVO₄ over competing laser hosts like YAG because it offers superior beam quality, lower lasing threshold, and efficient frequency conversion in compact applications ranging from industrial marking to medical devices.
