Abstract

The manufacture of large single crystals for optical applications presents many challenges to crystal growers and processors. Although the general trend for optical device sizes is to produce smaller units, there is still demand for producing crystal materials for large aperture optics such as windows and lenses. These applications continue to become more demanding in terms of size, homogeneity and surface finish and there are many areas of manufacture which require a significant amount of skill rather than scientific input.
