Design and preparation of multilayer optical coatings are investigated on laser crystal Nd:YVO4, YVO4, and frequency doubling crystal KTP substrate. Multilayer optical coatings are deposited on one surface of the crystals using the ion beam sputtering technique, and the other surface is coated with a single SiO2 as protective layer. For the YVO4 crystal after coating, the reflectivity at 1 064 and 532 nm are greater than 99.9% and 99.8%, respectively, and the transmissivity at 808 nm is greater than 91.5%. For the KTP crystal after coating, the reflectivity at 1 064 nm is greater than 99.95%, and the transmissivity at 532 nm is greater than 99.5%. After thermal annealing, the transmissivity can be improved. The obtained coated crystals can be used in high power solid-state lasers.
