Abstract: The spectral and lasing parameters of Nd:GdVO₄, Nd:YVO₄, and Nd:Gd_0.7Y_0.3VO₄ vanadate crystals cut along the c axis are studied. Lasing is obtained for the first time in a nonselective resonator at the ⁴F_3/2–⁴I_11/2 transition at 1065.5 nm in a Nd:GdVO₄ crystal. Tuning is realised in the range from 1062.3 to 1066.1 nm and two-frequency lasing is obtained.
