Abstract

Lithium iodate (α-LiIO3) single crystal is a promising nonlinear optical material, which used for efficient laser radiation conversion in the visible and near-IR regions. A technique for measuring the “dead zone” (ΔТ dz) of LiIO3 solutions has been developed; data on the impact of Fe(IO3)2, AgIO3, CsOH, H3PO4, and methyl methacrylate on the growth of the (100) face of α-LiIO3 crystals have been presented; and the dependences of the nucleation and motion of single steps on the degree of supersaturation have been measured. It is shown that the ΔТ dz value makes it possible to estimate the validity of solutions for growing α-LiIO3 crystals. The results of measuring the face growth rates and step velocities for KDP and α-LiIO3 crystals are compared.
