Abstract
The preparation of large single crystals of CaF2 by the zone melting and the pulling techniques is reported. Many crystals were doped with rare‐earth elements. The ingots showed high optical perfection; they could be used in optical maser studies. The annealing of such crystals is discussed.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
