Abstract
In optical communications and the laser industry, modulating the polarization of light requires crystals with both large birefringence and a wide transparent range. A good candidate for a deep-UV birefringent crystal is because it has a large birefringence and short UV cutoff edge. We grew crystals with sizes up to using the top-seeded solution growth method. We obtained the thermal-expansion coefficients in different directions and the thermo-optic coefficients and then designed and manufactured a Glan–Taylor type polarizer to fulfill the commercial requirements.
