Abstract

PURPOSE:To efficiently obtain a ruby single crystal of good quality without containing air bubbles, by increasing the chromium oxide concentration in the tip part of a raw material rod and lowering the concentration in the back part in crystal synthesis by a light convergence floating zone method. CONSTITUTION:A raw material rod 6 containing Al2O3 mainly and further chromium oxide is produced. In the process, the chromium oxide concentration in the tip part of the raw material rod 6 is increased and the chromium oxide concentration in the back part is lowered. The raw material rod 6 is then placed in an infrared ray convergence heating single crystal production apparatus equipped with a halogen lamp 2, spheroidal surface mirror 1, etc., to grow the aimed ruby single crystal by a light convergence floating zone method. The ruby single crystal of good quality without containing air bubbles can be obtained even if the growth rate of the single crystal is relatively high, e.g. >=2mm/hr.
