Abstract
KDP crystals were rapidly grown from solutions doped with different Nd^3+^ concentrations. During the growth process, βfoggyβ inclusions were selectively captured in the pyramidal sector of KDP crystal and hourglass shaped crystals were obtained. It is found that the nonuniform distribution of Nd^3+^ ions causes remarkable differences in optical quality between prismatic and pyramidal sectors. With increasing Nd^3+^ concentration, the optical quality is greatly decreased for pyramidal sectors, while the change is not so obvious for prismatic sectors. (Β© 2010 WILEYβVCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
