High　optical　quality　Tb1-xNdxVO4　(TNV)　single　crystal　with　dimensions　of　Ø29　×　39　mm3　was　grown　by　the　Czochralski　(Cz)　technique.　Powder　X-ray　diffraction　analysis　was　performed,　indicating　that　as-grown　crystal　belongs　to　tetragonal　system.　The　optical　and　magneto-optical　properties　have　been　investigated　in　detail.　TNV　possesses　very　high　transmittance,　especially　in　the　near-infrared　region.　The　Verdet　constant　of　TNV　at　1064　nm　reaches　71　rad　m−1T−1,　20%　larger　than　that　of　reference　compound　TGG.　The　high　magneto-optical　figure　of　merit　and　extinction　ratio　also　reveal　the　superior　magneto-optical　performances　of　TNV　in　comparison　with　TGG.　Measurements　of　thermal　conductivity　and　laser-induced　damage　threshold　(LIDT)　were　also　carried　out.　These　features　make　Tb1-xNdxVO4　a　potential　candidate　for　magneto-optical　applications　in　the　near-infrared　(NIR)　region.　©　2018
