Whatever you do,stop!!! and download the LLNL paper attached.

If you want to build large lenses and if optical glass is not available to your lens size, very expensive or at foreign company,you can make your exotic Lawrence Livermore Laboratories Laser Fusion experiments grade KDP mono crystal, 320 kilograms of mass in few months,only preparing an saturated liquid,an turntable and heating the mass 40 to 70 celcius degrees.

I prepared a basic intro, google KDP and...

It is hygroscopic, very fragile, lacks mechanical strength, and is sensitive to thermal shock; consequently, it must be handled with care and kept dry.

Mustafa, you really should learn more about the materials and methods that excite you before you pester us about them.

Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate (KH2PO4) is a crystal noted for its non-linear optical properties. It has been used as electro-optical polarization rotators to vary the intensity and frequency doubling of Nd:YAG laser. It is hygroscopic, very fragile, lacks mechanical strength, and is sensitive to thermal shock; consequently, it must be handled with care and kept dry.

Dont you handle your camera glass with care and kept it dry ?

Mustafa, I leave my lenses out in the rain. How do you keep yours?
