Development of a versatile high temperature top seeded solution growth unit for growing cesium lithium borate crystals.
The design and fabrication of a state of the art high temperature top seeded solution growth (HTTSSG) unit with seed and crucible rotation options is discussed. Crystals from solid solutions of high viscosity could be grown using the setup. The fabricated setup is used to grow high optical quality single crystals of cesium lithium borate with dimensions 50x40x40 mm(3) for frequency conversion of ir to UV laser through harmonic generation.
