Research and Development Work for the Growth of Single Crystal Yttrium Orthovanadate

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0761094 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The two most promising crystal growth methods were investigated. The Bridgman method shows some promise with further development in vendor state-of- the-art, idirium fabrication technology, and a refinement in crucible design. The Czochralski method successfully yielded large a and c axis boules. Growth parameter development is described and the results evaluated. Glan- Foucault and Rochon polarizers have been assembled from prisms fabricated from these boules and tested.
