Continuous-wave plane-polarized outputs of 1 W at 1.06 $mu$ and 0.35 W at 1.34 $mu$ were obtained by end pumping small samples of Nd : YVO$sub 4$ with an argon-ion laser. Slope efficiencies and material losses were determined. At 1.06 and 1.34 $mu$, Nd : YVO$sub 4$ lasers can substantially outperform Nd : YAG lasers. Self-Q-switched operation of Nd : YVO$sub 4$ at both wavelengths was obtained by resonator misalignment. (AIP)
