| Abstract: | The conditions of growth, monodomenization, and detwinning are considered in order to obtain optically perfect barium–sodium niobate crystals (BSN). Optical homogeneity and that of chemical composition are investigated. It is shown that possible variations of composition in a crystal's volume are below 1%. Thermal E and optical Eg° widths of the forbidden zone are determined in the absorption spectra. |
