The spectral and lasing parameters of Nd:GdVO{sub 4}, Nd:YVO{sub 4}, and Nd:Gd{sub 0.7}Y{sub 0.3}VO{sub 4} vanadate crystals cut along the c axis are studied. Lasing is obtained for the first time in a nonselective resonator at the {sup 4}F{sub 3/2}-{sup 4}I{sub 11/2} transition at 1065.5 nm in a Nd:GdVO{sub 4} crystal. Tuning is realised in the range from 1062.3 to 1066.1 nm and two-frequency lasing is obtained. (special issue devoted to the 25th anniversary of the a.m. prokhorov general physics institute)
