We discovered several new nonlinear‐laser χ (3) ‐properties in tetragonal GdVO 4 vanadate, which is host‐crystal for lanthanide lasant ions, and attractive gain media for Raman laser converters. We hope that observed many‐phonon SRS, almost two‐octave Stokes and anti‐Stokes lasing comb, cascaded self‐frequency “tripling” and self‐sum‐frequency generation in the blue and UV spectral range could significantly enriche funcional laser potential of this crystal.
