[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a method for growing a tellurium dioxide single crystal suitable for use in an optical element for modulating laser light applied to, for example, laser facsimile.
This invention relates to a method for growing tellurium dioxide single crystals by a pulling method. [Prior Art] 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, high-quality crystals have conventionally been obtained by growing with <110> or an equivalent direction as the pulling axis. When using a tellurium dioxide single crystal as an optical element for a modulator, two types are useful: one in which transverse ultrasound waves propagate in the <110> direction, and one in which longitudinal ultrasound waves propagate in the <001> direction. be. [Problem to be solved by the invention] Of these two types, the longitudinal wave of ultrasound is
In the case of the type that propagates in the direction, the laser beam is <100>
In order to propagate in the direction, the optical element needs to be a hexahedron surrounded by a (001) plane and a (100) plane.
Conventionally, when cutting this type of optical element from a crystal, the direction of the pulling axis of the crystal is the <110> axis, so it is This results in a decrease in yield when cutting out optical elements from the crystal. 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. [Means for Solving the Problems] According to the present invention, a tellurium dioxide single crystal is grown in which the <100> axis is the direction of the pulling axis when the tellurium dioxide single crystal is grown by a pulling method. You can get the training method. [Examples] Examples of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. After charging the raw materials into a metal crucible with an inner diameter and depth of 50 mm, the raw materials were melted at approximately 733°C by high-frequency heating. Pulling speed from the melt is 2.0mm/Hr,
A tellurium dioxide single crystal with a diameter of 25 mm and a length of 60 mm was grown under the growth conditions of a crystal rotation speed of 25 rpm and the <100> axis as the pulling axis. As a result, air bubbles inside the crystal,
No striae or impurities, conventional method〈110〉
High-quality crystals comparable to those obtained by axial pulling were obtained. Acousto-optics (A-O), which propagates longitudinal ultrasound waves in the <001> direction from the crystal thus obtained.
When cutting out an optical element for a modulator, the optical element needs to be a hexahedron surrounded by (001), (100), and (010) planes. If the dimensions of this optical element are, for example, <001> axis = <100> axis = <010> axis, as shown in Fig. 1, there are three elements 2 with a maximum square size of 17 mm,
Also, if the element 1 is 14 mm square, four pieces can be cut out. For crystals of the same size pulled using the conventional <110> axis, the <100> axis is the direction 45° to the pulling axis <110> in the (001) plane, as shown in Figure 2. Because of the orientation, a similar optical element can only be cut into three 14 mm square elements at most, and it is not possible to cut out a single 17 mm square element due to the dimensions of the crystal. Furthermore, Table 1 shows the volume yield of the optical element crystal when an optical element for a <001> type A-O modulator is cut out from tellurium dioxide single crystals of <100> axis pulling and <110> axis pulling. The crystal dimensions are 25mmφ in diameter, 60mm in length, and the dimensions of the optical elements are each
They were made into 10mm square, 12mm square, and 14mm square.
