YVO4 Crystal

Crystals >>> Birefrigent Crystals >>> YVO4 Crystal

YVO4(Yttrium orthovanadate) is a positive uniaxial crystal grown with Czochralski method.  It has a wide transparency range and larger birefringence, which make it widely used in many applications in particular fiber optics field.  YVO4 is an excellent synthetic substitute for calcite and rutile crystal.

Red Optronics supplies a wide variety of finished YVO4 crystals.  Our standard specifications for YVO4 follows:

Main Specifications  
Diameter max. 25mm
