Problems solved by technology

However, the viscosity of this system is high, and it is impossible to obtain BPO that meets the optical performance test 4 the crystal
In 2004, Li Zhihua et al reported the use of Li 4 P 2 o 7 -Li 2 O-Compound Flux Growth of BPO 4 Crystal method ("Journal of Crystal Growth", 2004, Vol.270, 486-490), but this system still has the disadvantages of high viscosity, easy formation of inclusions, and difficulty in growing large-sized transparent crystals.

Abstract

The invention relates to a growth method of a fluxing agent of boron phosphate monocrystal, which comprises the steps of: 1) proportionally mixing a boron phosphate compound and the fluxing agent, putting the mixture into platinum crucible, and heating till completely fusing in a crystal growing furnace; and then cooling to the temperature being 2 to 15 DEG C above a saturation temperature, thus obtaining a high temperature melt containing boron phosphate and the fluxing agent; and 2) putting seed crystal loaded on a seed rod into the high temperature melt, keeping constant temperature for 10 to 180 minutes, reducing the temperature to saturation temperature, and rotating the seed rod at the speed of 10 to 50 revolution / minute; and reducing the temperature at the speed of 0.1 to 2 DEG C / day, lifting the crystal from the liquid surface after the crystal grows up, and cooling to room temperature at the speed of 20 to 50 DEG C / hour to obtain the boron phosphate monocrystal. The fluxing agent used by the method can reduce the viscosity of the high temperature melt, is beneficial to melt mass transportation in the process of crystal growth, avoids the formation of inclusions in the crystal, and can stably grow the transparent boron phosphate monocrystal which has cm-level size, short ultraviolet cutoff wavelength and good mechanical processing performance, is not easy to crack, does not absorb moisture, and is easy to be stored.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of single crystal growth methods, in particular to a flux growth method for boron phosphate single crystals. Background technique [0002] In modern laser technology, the laser wavelengths that can be directly obtained by using laser crystals are limited. Nonlinear optical crystals have attracted much attention because they can effectively broaden the wavelength range of lasers. The use of nonlinear optical crystals to make second harmonic generators, up and down frequency converters, optical parametric oscillators and other nonlinear optical devices is an important means of obtaining new laser light sources. [0003] At present, borate and phosphate nonlinear optical crystals such as BBO, LBO, KTP, and DKDP crystals have attracted much attention due to their excellent nonlinear optical properties. The nonlinear optical properties of the crystal play an important role. In 1934, the German magazine "Zeitschrift fuer...
