Yttrium orthovanadate (YVO?), a positive uniaxial crystal grown by Czochralski method, offers a wide transparency range, large birefringence, and high damage threshold. These properties make it an ideal Calcite/Rutile substitute for optical polarizing components, including fiber isolators, Glan polarizers, and beam displacers. Its mechanical robustness and non-hygroscopicity further enable reliable operation in harsh environments.
