Abstract
Single crystals of Y1-xRxCa4O(BO3)3 (R = Sc or Lu) of good quality have been grown from the melt by the Czochralski pulling method. The chemical compositions of the grown crystals were determined. Type-I non critical phase matching (NCPM) wavelengths for second harmonic generation (SHG) in Y1-xRxCa4O(BO3)3 grown crystals were also determined..
Keywords
