A　new　Nd:　Lu0.141Y0.855VO4　mixed　laser　crystal　had　been　successfully　grown　by　the　Czochralski　method.　The　reason　of　the　crystal　boule　appearing　additionally　yellowish　at　the　bottom　was　discussed.　The　X-ray　powder　diffraction　analysis　showed　that　the　as-grown　mixed　crystal　possesses　the　ZrSiO4　structure.　The　effective　segregation　coefficients　of　Nd3　and　Lu3　ions　in　the　crystal　were　measured　to　be　about　0.51　and　0.76,　respectively.　The　room　temperature　fluorescence　spectrum　of　the　mixed　crystal　showed　that　the　FWHM　(full-width　at　half-maximum)　of　the　1064.9　nm　fluorescence　band　was　5.1　nm,　broader　than　that　of　Nd:　YVO4.　A　continuous-wave　(CW)　laser　output　was　achieved　with　the　Nd:　Lu0.141Y0.855VO4　crystal　at　1.06　μm　using　laser　diode　pumping.　The　maximum　CW　output　power　of　1.7　W　was　obtained　with　the　pump　power　of　7.6　W,　higher　than　the　1.38　W　achieved　with　the　0.5　at%　Nd:　LuVO4　crystal　under　the　same　experimental　conditions.　All　the　results　above　show　that　the　Nd:　Lu0.141Y0.855VO　4　crystal　is　a　promising　laser　material.　©　2011　Elsevier　B.V.　All　Rights　Reserved.
