Large potassium dihydrogen phosphate crystal growth using a three-vessel system for fusion lasers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Large scale laser fusion experiments are being performed in the Institute of Laser Engineering, Osaka University, using the glass laser system Gekko-XII. For this laser, very large nonlinear crystals of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) with a cross section over 40 × 40 cm is needed as a frequency converter to obtain a short wavelength laser. Generally the temperature falling method (TFM) Is used to grow such a huge crystal, but the volume of the growing vessel becomes tremendously large.
