Development of K sub 1-x Na sub x TiOPO sub 4 Crystals for Nonlinear Applications
Abstract
During this first quarter, the raw materials, crucibles and furnace parts required for this program were purchased and received. The initial crystal growth of Na doped KTP requires seeds of identical composition in order to minimize strain effects. For each composition examined, a preliminary crystal growth run to obtain these seeds utilized the spontaneous nucleation method. A saturated solution of proper composition is superheated to 950 deg C. The saturation temperature of the solution was estimated based on previously determined solubility data. The solution was programmed at 5 deg C/day to obtain nucleation. This process was repeated for each new composition
