Abstract

A tubular monocrystal consisting of the mixed tungstates of calcium, sodium and neodymium and for use in the manufacture of lasers is produced by passing a heated perforated plate 2 and associated molten zone through a tubular charge material 1 from the tubular end face of a rotating seed 3 (Fig. 1, not shown). The material of the charge may have been pressed into tubular form and sintered. The single crystal may have been formed by machining a recess in one end face of a monocrystalline rod. The plate may be of iridium or rhodium and may be resistively heated by a three phase current. It may have three perforations 8 and a central opening 12 corresponding to the bore of the tubular monocrystal (Fig. 2, not shown). It may have an annular ridge containing the perforations on its lower surface (Fig. 3, not shown). The charge, seed and plate may be surrounded by a silica shield containing an atmosphere consisting of 90% of argon and 10% of oxygen. The atmos may pass to the interior of the charge &c., through bores 10 in the seed.
