Comparative investigation of stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) characteristics in the YVO4, GdVO4, and Ca3(VO4)2 orthovanadate crystals at both low and high frequency anionic group vibrations is presented. It was found that GdVO4 is the most perspective for SRS generation on both the ν1 stretching and ν2 bending modes of internal anionic group vibrations with the strongest SRS pulse shortening under synchronous picosecond pumping. It is as a result of GdVO4‘s widest linewidth (17cm−1) of the homogeneously broadened scheelite-type component of the bending ν2 Raman line that led to the strongest SRS pulse shortening down to the dephasing time of the widest (scheelite-type) Raman mode at the secondary intracavity short-shifted SRS conversion. It allowed us to achieve SRS pulses with sub-picosecond duration under tens-of-picoseconds pumping due to the strongest 42-fold pulse shortening. Using the Ca3(VO4)2 crystal with essentially wider Raman lines (~50cm−1) did not allow us to generate SRS pulses shorter than 1 ps. It can be explained by inhomogeneous broadening of the Raman lines in Ca3(VO4)2 because of its structural disordering. Using the measured SRS pulse duration, the homogeneous broadening of the inhomogeneously broadened bending Raman line of Ca3(VO4)2 was estimated to be ~9cm−1. Among the orthovanadate crystals, the YVO4 crystal with the highest Raman gain and with homogeneously broadened Raman lines allowed us to realize the most efficient SRS lasing and SRS pulse shortening truly down to inverse half-width of the bending Raman line.
