摘要:
The present invention provides a method for producing a compound single crystal that can improve a growth rate and grow a large single crystal with high crystal uniformity in a short time, and a production apparatus used for the method. The compound single crystal is grown while stirring a material solution to create a flow from a gas-liquid interface in contact with a source gas toward the inside of the material solution. With this stirring, the source gas can be dissolved easily in the material solution, and supersaturation can be achieved in a short time, thus improving the growth rate of the compound single crystal. Moreover, the flow formed by the stirring goes from the gas-liquid interface where a source gas concentration is high to the inside of the material solution where the source gas concentration is low, so that dissolution of the source gas becomes uniform. Accordingly, it is possible not only to suppress nonuniform nucleation at the gas-liquid interface, but also to improve the quality of the compound single crystal produced.

There are provided a method of superflattening an oxide crystal that is soluble neither with acid nor with alkaline, a method of making a ReCa4O(BO3)3 family oxide single crystal thin film using the superflattening method, a ReCa4O(BO3)3 family oxide single crystal thin film having a SHG property, a superflattening method for light incident/emitting surfaces, and a defect assessing method for oxide crystals. The surface of an oxide crystal that is soluble neither with acid nor with alkaline is reduced with a reducing agent, the reduced oxide crystal surface is dissolved with an aqueous solution of acid or alkaline, the surface dissolved oxide crystal is heat-treated in the atmosphere, whereby the surface of an oxide crystal that is soluble neither with acid nor with alkaline is superflattened to an atomic level. According to this method, a chemically stable oxide which because of its complexity in both composition and structure is soluble neither with acid nor with alkaline and is insoluble even with a fluoric acid is allowed by reduction to be converted into a simpler oxide conventionally soluble with hydrochloric, nitric or sulfuric acid; hence a surface of its crystal is rendered capable of dissolving. Then, heat-treating the dissolved surface in the atmosphere at a suitable temperature for a suitable time period allows surface atoms to be rearranged and the surface to be superflattened to an atomic level. The present invention is applicable to the technical fields that require ultraviolet laser light, especially as core technologies of optical devices applied to optical information processing, optical communication or the like.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for producing high-quality crystals of protein or organic substances easily and efficiently. A solution of protein or an organic substance is prepared and then is cooled slowly to be supersaturated to a low degree. This supersaturated solution is irradiated with a femtosecond laser 10. A local explosion phenomenon occurs at the focal point of the laser and thereby a crystalline nucleus is generated. A high-quality crystal is obtained when a crystal is grown on the crystalline nucleus over a long period of time. The femtosecond laser to be used herein can be a titanium:sapphire laser having a wavelength of 800 nm, a duration of 120 fs, a frequency of 1 kHz, and an output of 400 mW.

摘要:
An optical wavelength conversion element includes a cesium-lithium-borate crystal processed into a 10-mm long optical element cut in an orientation that allows a fourth harmonic of a Nd:YAG laser to be generated. A transmittance (Ta) at 3589 cm−1 in an infrared transmission spectrum of the optical element is used as an index that indicates a content of water impurities in the crystal and is independent of a polarization direction. An actual measurement of the transmittance Ta is at least 1%, without taking into account loss at an optically polished surface of the crystal. A wavelength conversion device, a ultraviolet laser irradiation apparatus, a laser processing system, and a method of manufacturing an optical wavelength conversion element are also described.

In a wavelength converting method, an ambient that is in contact with a surface of a non-linear optical crystal from which wavelength-converted light is outputted is a gas that is lower in content of nitrogen than air. A wavelength converting device includes a device for controlling the ambient in contact with a surface of the non-linear optical crystal from which the wavelength-converted light is outputted so the ambient is lower in nitrogen than air. A laser machining device includes the wavelength converting device.
