Thermo-optical and -mechanical parameters of Nd:GdVO4 and Nd:YVO4

We measured thermal conductivity, thermal expansion coefficient, and thermal refractive index coefficient of Nd:GdVO4 and Nd:YVO4. Superiority comparisons of laser media under high power laser operations were also discussed from the viewpoints of thermal characteristics.
