N2 - Ce:LiSrAlF 6 and Eu:LiSrAlF 6 crystals with different dopant concentrations were grown by the micro-pulling-down method. The crystals with high dopant crystal included the secondary phase as clusters with the plate shape in BSE images. The secondary phases were identified CeF 3 and EuF 2, respectively, by the EDS analysis and powder-XRD measurement. Eu concentration against the Sr sites in the Eu 2% doped LiSAF crystal were most uniform in the range 0.9-1.6 atm% using the EPMA.
