Abstract
Optical and structural homogeneity of undoped Ca4GdO(BO3)(3) Crystals grown from the melt by the Czochralski method in the [010] direction was investi gated by spectroscopic measurements and using an automated spectropolarimet er over the entire area of the samples in the wavelength range between 660 and 800 nm. A fair to good optical quality of the investigated crystals was found. Those results are compared with chemical etching experiments.
