“…Alum is probably the best example for the latter studies in the past. The last decades brought about new breakthrough in technology and understanding, beginning with the fast growth of large highquality KDP crystals [1][2][3]. Of tremendous importance for electronics and optics are large quartz crystals now grown in industry and numerous crystals grown from high-temperature solutions (e.g.…”

“…It was shown that rapidly-grown crystals can have as high optical quality as those typically grown by the traditional technique [3,8,9], but, until now, the size of rapidly-grown crystals did not exceed 15-20 cm. As a result, the 37 cm crystal plates currently in use on Beamlet, the NIF prototype, still had to be grown by the traditional method.…”

“…Nakatsuka et al used external energy to grow KDP crystals of 60 mm in size at high rates, in excess of 50 mm/d [4] . It is shown that rapidly grown crystals can have the same high optical quality as of those typically grown by the traditional technique [5,6] . The 'point seed' in the Z cutting direction, with a size of 1 × 1 × 1 cm 3 , grows uniformly along the three directions (X , Y , and Z axes) under the condition of high supersaturation.…”

Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) single crystals are the only nonlinear crystals currently used for electro-optic switches and frequency converters in inertial confinement fusion research, due to their large dimension and exclusive physical properties. Based on the traditional solution-growth process, large bulk KDP crystals, usually with sizes up to 600 × 600 mm 2 so as to make a frequency doubler for the facility requirement loading highly flux of power laser, can be grown in standard Holden-type crystallizers, without spontaneous nucleation and visible defects, one to two orders of magnitude faster than by conventional methods. Pure water and KDP raw material with a few ion impurities such as Fe, Cr, and Al (less than 0.1 ppm) were used. The rapid-growth method includes extreme conditions such as temperature range from 60 to 35 • C, overcooling up to 5 • C, growth rates exceeding 10 mm/day, and crystal size up to 600 mm. The optical parameters of KDP crystals were determined. The optical properties of crystals determined indicate that they are of favorable quality for application in the facility.
