%X Pure and Nd-doped Ca<sub>10</sub>Li(VO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>7</sub> single crystals were grown by the Czochralski method. The structure of Ca<sub>10</sub>Li(VO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>7</sub> single crystal was refined starting from a model of Ca<sub>10</sub>K(VO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>7</sub> using the powder diffraction data collected at a laboratory high-resolution diffractometer. The defect structure of the single crystal was studied with the use of both, high-resolution diffraction using a laboratory instrument and X-ray topographic techniques employing synchrotron radiation at the Hasylab laboratory (Hamburg). Polarized absorption and luminescence spectra of Nd-doped Ca<sub>10</sub>Li(VO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>7</sub> crystal were investigated in details. The laser oscillation was obtained under flash lamp pumping and the slope efficiency of 0.87
