Techniques for the flux growth of optical materials: Growth of beta-barium borate
Abstract
This report describes the method of flux growth of nonlinear optical single crystals and the techniques required to determine the flux choice. This is illustrated by the crystal growth of beta barium borate. These techniques are applicable to other optical materials.
