We present for the first time a $\mathrm{Nd}:\mathrm{Y}\mathrm{V}{\mathrm{O}}_4$ laser emitting at $1064\mathrm{nm}$ intracavity pumped at $912\mathrm{nm}$ by a $\mathrm{Nd}:\mathrm{Gd}\mathrm{V}{\mathrm{O}}_4$ laser. We carried out a model to design the system properly, and laser performance was experimentally investigated. Intracavity sum-frequency mixing at 912 and $1064\mathrm{nm}$ was then realized in a BiBO crystal to reach the blue range. We obtained a cw output power of $155\mathrm{mW}$ at $491\mathrm{nm}$ with a pump laser diode emitting $20\mathrm{W}$ at $808\mathrm{nm}$ .
