An electro-optic device includes an electro-optic crystal having a predetermined thickness, a first face and a second face. The electro-optic device also includes a first electrode substrate disposed opposing the first face. The first electrode substrate includes a first substrate material having a first thickness and a first electrode coating coupled to the first substrate material. The electro-optic device further includes a second electrode substrate disposed opposing the second face. The second electrode substrate includes a second substrate material having a second thickness and a second electrode coating coupled to the second substrate material. The electro-optic device additionally includes a voltage source electrically coupled to the first electrode coating and the second electrode coating.

A composition of matter is provided having the general chemical formula K(H,D)P(O,O), where x0. 002, and x+y≈1. Additionally, a method of fabricating an optical material by growth from solution is provided. The method includes providing a solution including a predetermined percentage of (H,D)O and a predetermined percentage of (H,D)O, providing a seed crystal, and supporting the seed crystal on a platform. The method also includes immersing the seed crystal in the solution and forming the optical material. The optical material has the general chemical formula K(H,D)P(O,O), where x0. 002, and x+y≈1.

A method of fabricating an optical material includes providing input materials having a material softening temperature, melting the input materials, and flowing the melted input materials into a laser inclusion mitigation system. The melted input materials comprise one or more inclusions. The method also includes irradiating the input materials using a laser beam, fragmenting the one or more inclusions in response to the irradiating, and reducing a temperature of the input materials to less than the material softening temperature. The method further includes forming an optical material and annealing the optical material.
