Abstract

KDP (KH₂PO₄) single crystals up to 47 cm in size have been grown by the rapid growth technique on the point seed in glass crystallizers of 1000 L in volume at growth rates of 10 to 25 mm/day in both the [001] and [100] directions. Measurement of the optical quality of 41 X 41 cm single crystal plates are presented.
