We have grown KGd(WO4)(2):Yb3+ single crystal by the top nucleated floating
crystal (TNFC) method. The spectroscopic characterization has been perform
ed (absorption and fluorescence) for the two orthogonal polarizations corre
sponding to the axis of the optical indicatrix for light propagation along
the b-axis. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
