Abstract

KDP crystals were grown from the aqueous solution with different concentrations of sulphate by both the traditional temperature-lowering method and the rapid growth method. Sulphate showed a great effect on the growth and the properties of KDP crystals. With the rise of the dopant concentration, many defects occur such as mother liquid inclusions, parasite crystals and cracks. When the dopant concentration of sulphate reaches a certain value, the ultraviolet transmittance of crystals decreases a lot compared with crystals at low dopant concentration.
