Growth and Hardening of Alkali Halides for Use in Infrared Laser Windows

Abstract

A Reactive Atmosphere Processing Bridgman KCl crystal growth system has been placed in operation. This system uses the now conventional CCl4 treatment method. The resultant undoped KCl crystals show a 10.6 micrometer absorption of 0.0004/cm. Flow stress measurements as a function of radiation damage on KBr(x) I(1-x) crystals have been started. A system for measuring the flow stress as function of temperature has been completed
