Abstract:
Distributed system for control over the crystal growth process is presented. The main advantages of the system are its low cost, ability to recover after power failure, an application of standard ISaGRAF software environment and available low-power PC-Controller. One of the option of the system is an ability to control symmetry and dynamics of the heat filed. This option is the key factor for the progress in growth of nonlinear optical LBO crystal.
