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.
