Zusammenfassung:FIELD: crystal growing technologies. ^ SUBSTANCE: invention relates to technology of growing crystals for passive laser shutters used in modern lasers operated in IR spectrum region. Crystals are grown according to Chokhralsky method from initial stock melt containing metal oxide mixture, namely produced via solid-phase synthesis gallium-scandium-gadolinium garnet of congruently melting composition with magnesium and chromium oxide additives assuring concentration of chromium and magnesium cations in melt 2.0.1020 to 2.6.1020 at/cm3. Process is carried out at cell pressure 1.4 atm in argon and carbon dioxide medium with carbon dioxide content 14-17% by volume. Invention makes it possible to grow perfect crystals of gallium-scandium-gadolinium garnets alloyed with chromium cations, which are characterized by absorption coefficient above 5 cm-1 within wavelength 1.057-1.067 mum generation range. ^ EFFECT: achieved required Q-switching mode in continuous and pulsed operation conditions. ^ 6 ex
