Abstract

The adaptation of the Heat Exchanger Method for the growth of high quality laser crystals, viz., Co:MgF2 and Ti:Al203, is discussed. In case of Co:MgF2 problems associated with dopant polarization and reaction with the crucible have been solved to produce 1 wt.% CoF2 crystals. For Ti:Al201 crystals 10 cm diameter boules have been grown. This material does not exhibit the 800 nm absorption and laser rods with uniform Ti concentration can be fabricated from these boules.
