초록

The growth method using multi-crucible set is very useful for mass production of optical crystals such as CaF2, Lif, BaF2 etc. CaF2 crystals of various diameter(42, 54 and 68mm) could be grown by means of multi-crucible set in one running operation and they were investigated to the formation of grain boundary as the cone-angle of crucibles. The qualities of crystal were evaluated by observing grain number and dislocation density. The transmittance was analyzed by using UV-Visible-NIR spectrometer.
