Abstract
A fundamental possibility of significantly increasing the growth rate of α-LiIO3 crystals without the formation of visible defects in them is demonstrated. The corresponding equipment is designed and a technique for obtaining intermediate-size samples is developed. The crystals grown with an average rate of up to 4 mm/days along the Z axis are of high enough quality to be used as materials of optical elements for laser frequency doubling. α-LiIO3 crystals have been grown both in an open volume via natural faceting and in a rectangular habit, where growth occurs basically through the pyramid (101) face. It is shown that that amount of limiting impurities in the raw material used can be reduced and that the applicability of this material for rapid growth can be verified.
