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