Abstract

KY(WO4)2 single crystals are studied for their civilian applications as laser host materials. In order to determinate the best growth conditions and their reproducibility, the investigation of the K2O-Y2O3-WO3 ternary system was undertaken. It was shown that the compound is not stoichiometric: its stability domain and crystallization field were defined through the study of three isoplethic sections. The preparation of single crystals was performed by a flux method. Their composition depends on the flux one; therefore, these differences do not alter the structure and the spectroscopic properties.
