Abstract

Abstract : Tetragonal t‐YVO4, t‐GdVO4 and monoclinic m‐LaVO4 are widely known as host‐matrix materials for Ln 3+ ‐lasant ions in high‐gain SRS‐active crystals. In this study, many phonon impulsive stimulated Raman scattering (ISRS) was excited under femtosecond pumping for these materials. All of the observed χ (3) ‐non‐linear lasing components were attributed to the vibrations of the [VO4 ] 3− structural units of these vanadates. The article gives a short review (in table form) of all known SRS‐active crystals with tetragonal zircon‐type (ZrSiO4 ) and monazite‐type (CePO4 ) structure and their observed χ (3) ‐nonlinear optical effects.
