Abstract—Raman lasers based on c-Nd:YVO₄ crystals can generate 1178 nm Stokes line, which can be fre-
quency-doubled to realize 589 nm sodium lasers. We make comparative experimental studies of c-
Nd:YVO₄/YVO₄ Raman lasers and c-Nd:YVO₄ self-Raman lasers. About these two kinds of lasers, the output
characteristics of power, center wavelength and beam quality are measured and compared.
