A two-frequency picosecond laser based on {alpha}-cut Nd:YVO{sub 4}-YVO{sub 4} composite vanadate crystals is experimentally studied for the s-polarised radiation at the {sup 4}F{sub 3/2} - {sup 4}I{sub 11/2} transition with frequency tuning using Fabry-Perot etalons of different thickness. The difference between the radiation wavelengths was tuned within the range of 1.2-4.4 nm. In the mode-locking regime, the two-frequency radiation power was 280 mW at an absorbed pump power of 12 W.
