Abstract:The effect of seed orientation on the growth rate and aspect ratio of LAP crystals was studied using four different seed orientations, namely (100), ( 010), ( 001) and ( 011), with the aim of achieving the isometric morphology required for device applications. For each experiment the growth rates along the principal crystallographic axes and the aspect ratio of the crystal were quantified. It was found that the growth rate was highest along the b-axis for all the seed orientations investigated and followed the… Show more
“…The principle and optical schematic of the birefringence interferometry has been described by Verma et al, [37]. Its usage for assessing the birefringence homogeneity of the crystal is reported elsewhere [38]. The interference fringes are shown in Fig.…”
