Abstract

Large single crystals of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) have been grown by temperature decrease method for the purpose of a frequency converter in laser fusion. The article describes how large and transparent KDP crystals (about 5cm×5cm×9cm) have been obtained and discusses how to grow much morelarge crystals.
