Can someone explain when I would want to use Nd:YAG instead of YVO4?
I notice that the YAG seems to be used in the very high output green lasers. The YAG rods are also cheaper it appears, but I'm not sure how to predict the size rod needed for various pumping power amounts.
I am still researching in order to start my high power 532nm lab build, and now I'm at a fork in the road while thinking about this.
