Using the approach of heat filed symmetry change and rotation LBO crystals of more than 1.5 kg of weight were grown from MoO 3 -containing melt-solution. High quality optical elements up to 65 mm in diameter were produced. At the same time with this approach we obtained high quality BBO crystals about 400 g using NaBaBO 3 flux. Elements with apertures up to 30×30 mm 2 were produced. The progress in the dimensions of grown crystals provides the opportunity to use them in laser systems of multi petawatt and exawatt power level.
