About Crystaltech
Crystal Tech is a Slovak-Armenian company operating in the field growing synthetic crystals.  It is not only the growth of synthetic crystals by the method of Horizontally Directed Crystallization (Bagdasarov Method) but also production of modern high-tech equipment.
Horizontal directed crystallization (HDC)

Our company uses the method of horizontal directed crystallization invented by professor Kh.S.Bagdasarov.  This crystal growth method is based on the following: the crystallization material placed in a specific molybdenum form is melted by a slow movement through the heating zone and crystallized by precise physical parameters. In order to obtain a strictly oriented single crystal a number of technological procedures must be followed. The crystallization process is monitored all the time.

A significant advantage of the Bagdasarov method is the possibility of growing sapphires and laser crystals of large sizes in a flat form, while obtaining a high purity and precise optical parameters.

The Bagdasar method is schematically shown in fig. 1

 

Our products

Our production program consists of:

  • High quality sapphire crystals of large sizes
  • High purity YAG laser crystals
  • Precisely machined crystal components on customers demand
Use of our crystals
Due to the large dimensions, quality, homogeneous structure and excellent optical characteristics of our crystals, the possibilities of their application and industrial use are very wide.
Technical use
Optical crystals are widely used in the field high power lasers as well as optoelectronics (LED, semiconductor lasers). Smaller laser crystals are also widespread in microelectronics.
Other uses of our crystals
High-quality artificial crystals are used in various aviation areas and for space-based equipment. Other areas of use include medicine, chemical industry, automotive and others.
