Abstract
This chapter describes the different methods of crystal growth. Kyropoulos and Czochralski method of crystal growth is described. LiNbO3 (LN) and LiTaO3 (LT) single crystals are preferred for current electric and optical devices. Recently, they attained a large market-size next to quartz single crystals as a material for surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices. Gadolinium gallium garnet, Gd3GasO12 (GGG), is one of the most extensively developed garnet materials for substrate and laser applications. GGG crystals show a tendency for spiral growth. Rutile (TiO2) crystals are known to be an attractive material for applications such as polarizer for optical isolators and prisms for optical communication systems. The micro-pulling-down technique method is applied for the growth of A12OB/YAG eutectic fibers.
