TiO 2 plate single crystals, up to 20 mm×1.8 mmn×90 mm in size, were successfully grown by the edge-defined, film-fed growth (EFG) method. Iridium was found to be a suitable die material; the die configuration and growth conditions are given. The growth characteristics and the optical quality of crystals obtained are reported.
