Growth rates of 37 μm/hour for {010} faces and 40 μm/hour for [001] directions have been found for KDP crystals growing in gelled media by temperature reduction. These values, higher than those recorded in alcohol‐diffusing techniques are in the range of more classical methods. A device for obtaining larger crystal size is also described.
