Abstract

We have examined the effect of stirring the solution on crystallinity of CsLiB/sub 6/O/sub 10/ (CLBO) grown by top seeded solution growth (TSSG) method. We succeeded in growing radiation-resistant CLBO crystals when a special propeller installed into the crucible and the crucible was rotated in order to stir the solution. The crystallinity of CLBO was evaluated by measuring the bulk laser damage threshold and compared with those grown by the conventional TSSG method.
