Yttrium Vanadate: Polarizer Materials
Abstract
ium Vanadate: Polarizer Materials.Interim technical rept. 1 Oct 71- 30 Apr 72,Keig,G. A. ;McKnight,H. G. ;DAAB07-72-C-0022ECOM0022-1(*yttrium compounds, *crystal growth), (*lasers, polarizing filters), vanadates, single crystals*yttrium vanadates, *polarizersDuring the first quarter the crucible and furnace for carrying out crystal growth have been designed and tested. Some initial runs were made to test the concept of maintaining melt stoichiometry by forming it within a sealed crucible. These runs were hindered by weld problems associated with the alloying of Iridium with Vanadium metal formed by the reduction of the YVO4 melt. Changes in welding techniques and furnace design- will be made to alleviate this problem.
