Abstract
The temperature effects on the growth kinetics of KDP crystals are stu died as a function of solution composition. The activation energy for the temperature variation of critical supersaturation is calculated. T he absorption coefficient of growth solutions and KDP crystals grown a t different temperatures is measured in the range 200-400 nm. At eleva ted growth temperatures, better optical properties of the crystals and higher growth rates can be attained.
