Rapid growth of KDP-type crystals

Growth of KDP-type crystals on the point seed made possible to accelerate growth rates from traditional 1 mm/day up to 50 mm/day. This acceleration gave base to a development of the rapid growth technique for production of single crystals with the linear sizes up to 90 cm to obtain plates for laser radiation conversion in world-largest lasers. Scientific bases and technological principles of the method are considered in this review.
