“…These methods exhibited an improved homogeneity of the growth solutions and have had the advantages of growing high-quality borate crystals. Especially, CLBO damage threshold of TSSG crystals ranged from 8. contrast, the average range of the damage threshold of SS-TSSG crystals was 15.0-20.0 GW/cm 2 , and the highest threshold was 25.4 GW/cm 2 [31]. TSSG and CZ method are routinely used to grow borate crystals, but aqueous solutions and hydrothermal method are hardly adopted to these crystals.…”

We propose a protein crystal growth with stirring the solution, which is entirely different approach compared with the conventional method. The novel method, which we call the Floating And Stirring Technique (FAST), enables both growing crystals on an insoluble and very dense liquid without contacting the vessel and stirring the protein solution mildly. Using this method together with slow cooling, we obtained a 3.0 mm-long lysozyme crystal in 20 days from a seed crystal. This is larger than the 2.0 mm-long crystal grown without stirring. Stirring the protein solution accelerates the growth of the protein crystal and prevents additional spontaneous nucleation.

“…The results show that the LIDT of undoped and Al-doped CLBO crystals along the c axis are 33.98 J/cm 2 (6.80 GW/cm 2 ) and 25.48 J/cm 2 (5.10 GW/cm 2 ), respectively. The LIDT of newly-grown undoped CLBO significantly exceed that of conventional undoped CLBO (5.72 GW/cm 2 at 1064 nm along the c axis) [15]; the enhancement of LIDT may be attributed to high crystallinity and low dislocation density of crystal [19,20,41]. Hence, the results further prove the high quality of as-grown crystals and their promising applications in high-power solid-state lasers.…”

High quality and large size Al-doped CsLiB 6 O 10 (CLBO) single crystals have been successfully grown by top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) technique using Cs 2 O-Li 2 O-MoO 3 fluxes. The advantages of this newly developed flux system were investigated by viscosity measurements and growth experiments. Al-doped CLBO presents a very high transmittance in the visible region and the weak absorption values at 1064 nm along a and c axes are only 140 and 50 ppm/cm, respectively. The measured LIDT of Al-doped CLBO at λ = 1064 nm and τ = 5.0 ns is 5.10 GW/cm 2 . Moreover, Al-doped CLBO exhibits an apparent enhancement of the hygroscopic nature in contrast with the undoped crystal as determined by the humidity experiments. Finally, a high fourth harmonic generation (FHG) conversion efficiency of 63% utilizing Al-doped CLBO has been achieved by a picosecond mode-locked Nd:YAG laser, the results also reveal that Al doping has no obvious impact on the FHG conversion efficiency.
