A new series of Yb:Y_xLu_1-xVO₄ mixed laser crystals were grown by the Czochralski method. The polarized absorption spectra were measured at room temperature. The continuous-wave (cw) laser action of diode-pumped Yb:Y_xLu_1-xVO₄ mixed crystal laser was reported. The laser emission spectrum and relationship curve between the output power and absorbed pump power (P_abs) were measured. The optical quality of Yb:Y_xLu_1-xVO₄ mixed crystal was determined using optical interferometer. The crystal defects were studied by chemical etching and X-ray topography.
