<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a garnet single crystal in which the content of lead (Pb) is reduced; an optical element using the same; and a method for producing the garnet single crystal. <P>SOLUTION: A solution containing potassium (K), bismuth (Bi) and boron (B) as solvent is prepared, and then the garnet single crystal is grown by using the solution. When the solution further contains Pb, the blending ratio of Pb is set to be ≤11 mol%. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
