Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a single crystal which has a small glide belt section and a high refractive index homogeneity because only a small stress is generated, and which has only a low scattering capability, a small amount of schlieren and a small angle particle boundary. SOLUTION: The method for producing a highly homogeneous low-stress large-sized single crystal comprises the steps of (a) growing a single crystal from a melt, (b) cooling the resultant single crystal and (c) tempering the single crystal. The cooling rate of the single crystal after the crystal is grown is at least 10 K/hour within the temperature range of 1,300°C to 1,050°C. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
