Crystals are pillars of modern technology. Without crystals there would be no electronics industry, no photonic industry, no optic fiber communications, very little modern optical equipment and some very important gaps in conventional engineering.Yttrium Samarium Dysprosium Gadolinium Oxalate (YSmDyGdOx) crystals were grown by gel method. Silica gel method is capable of yielding crystals of high optical perfection and wide morphology. The growing crystals are held in the gel medium in a strain free manner and at the same time nucleation and super saturation are well controlled.
