Based on the invention and widely application of the Czochralski pulling method, vanadate crystals have been grown and commercialized in recent decades. In this paper, the growth and characterization of a series of neodymium doped vanadate crystals have been reviewed, including Nd:YVO_4, Nd:GdVO_4, and Nd:LuVO_4. The excellent thermal-mechanical and laser property make them to be used in many respects.
