レーザ光の変調用光学素子に用いて好適な二酸化テルル
単結晶の育成方法に関し、特に。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for growing tellurium dioxide single crystals suitable for use in optical elements for modulating laser light applied to, for example, laser facsimiles.
二酸化テルル単結晶を引き上げ法によって育成する方法
に関するものである。This invention relates to a method for growing tellurium dioxide single crystals by a pulling method.
融点733℃の二酸化テルル単結晶は、白金等の貴金属

法により育成されている。この場合、従来、<110>
またはこれと等価な方向を引き上げ軸として育成するこ
とで高品質な結晶が得られている。Tellurium dioxide single crystals with a melting point of 733° C. are grown by charging a raw material into a crucible made of a noble metal such as platinum, heating and melting the crucible, and then using a pulling method. In this case, conventionally <110>
Alternatively, high-quality crystals can be obtained by growing with the pulling axis in an equivalent direction.
二酸化テルル単結晶を変調器用光学素子として使用する
場合、超音波の横波を<110>方向に伝搬させる型、
及び超音波の縦波を<001>方向に伝搬させる型の二
つの型が有用である。When using a tellurium dioxide single crystal as an optical element for a modulator, a type that propagates ultrasonic transverse waves in the <110> direction,
Two types are useful: and a type in which longitudinal waves of ultrasound are propagated in the <001> direction.
これら二つの型のうち超音波の縦波を<001>方向に
伝搬させる型の場合、レーデ光は<100>方向に伝搬
させるため光学素子は(001)面と(Zoo)面とに
囲まれた六面体である必要がある。Of these two types, in the case of the type in which the longitudinal waves of ultrasound propagate in the <001> direction, the optical element is surrounded by the (001) plane and the (Zoo) plane because the Rede light propagates in the <100> direction. It must be a hexahedron.
従来、この種の光学素子を結晶から切り出す場合。Conventionally, this type of optical element is cut out from a crystal.
結晶の引上げ軸方向が<110>軸方向であるため。This is because the pulling axis direction of the crystal is the <110> axis direction.
結晶の(001)面内で引上げ軸<110>軸に対して
45°の方向で切シ出さなければならず、結晶から光学
素子を切シ出す場合の歩留シの低下をまねいている。The crystal must be cut in the (001) plane at an angle of 45° to the pulling axis <110> axis, resulting in a decrease in yield when cutting optical elements from the crystal.
本発明の目的は上述の欠点を除去し、変調器用二酸化テ

晶の育成方法を提供することにある。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a method for growing a tellurium dioxide single crystal that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks and allows a tellurium dioxide optical element for a modulator to be cut out at a high yield.
本発明によれば、二酸化テルル単結晶を引上げ法によっ
て育成する際に<100>軸を引上げ軸方向とすること

。According to the present invention, there is obtained a method for growing a tellurium dioxide single crystal, which is characterized in that when growing a tellurium dioxide single crystal by a pulling method, the <100> axis is set as the pulling axis direction.
以下本発明の実施例について図面を参照して説明する。 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
内径、深さ共に50簡の金るつぼ内に原料を装入した後
、高周波加熱により約733℃で上記原料を溶融した。After charging the raw material into a metal crucible with an inner diameter and depth of 50 cm, the raw material was melted at about 733° C. by high-frequency heating.
該溶融液よシ引上げ速度2.0m+/Hr 。The molten liquid was pulled up at a rate of 2.0 m+/Hr.
結晶回転数25 rpmの育成条件の下、<100>軸

引上げの結晶と同等な高品質の結晶を得た。A tellurium dioxide single crystal with a diameter of 25 m5 and a length of 60 mm was grown under the growth conditions of a crystal rotation speed of 25 rpm, with the <100> axis as the pulling axis. As a result, there were no bubbles, striae, or impurities inside the crystal, and a high-quality crystal equivalent to that obtained by the conventional method of <110) axial pulling was obtained.

When cutting out an optical element for an acousto-optic (A-0) modulator that propagates in the 1> direction, the optical element has (oo i ) plane, (
It needs to be a hexahedron surrounded by (Zoo) plane and (010) plane. For example, the dimensions of this optical element are <001>axis=<
If the 100> axis = the <010> axis, then three elements 2 with a maximum size of 17W square can be cut out, as shown in FIG. 1, and four elements can be cut out if the element 1 is 14cm square.

ため、同様の光学素子は最大14m角の素子1が3個し
か切り出せず、又17mm角の素子は結晶の寸法上1個
も切シ出すことができない。If the crystal has the same dimensions as the conventional method of <110> axis pulling, the pulling axis <1 in the (001) plane as shown in Figure 2.
Since the 45° direction relative to 10> is the <100> axis direction, a similar optical element can only be cut into three 14m square elements at most, and even one 17mm square element cannot be cut out due to the size of the crystal. I can't cut it out.
