Yttrium aluminate crystals for slabs

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The methods of growing YAG:Nd crystals with a flat interface and YAP:Nd crystals with a sharp conical interface are described. The form of the interface was controlled by the He and H2O content in the reducing atmosphere composed mainly of Ar and H2 as well as by axial temperature gradient above the melt level. The crystals of 120–180 mm in length were machined to the high-quality slabs.
