Oxide crystals for solid-state lasers are grown, as a rule, by crystallization from the melt. Their structure, in particular, such properties as the cation distribution over crystallographically nonequivalent atomic positions and the shape (distortion) of the coordination polyhedra, plays a decisive role in determining the laser properties of the crystals and the conditions for their successful growth.
