© 2021 Elsevier B.V.Tm3+:KY(WO4)2 (KYW) single crystals were grown by the modified Czochralski method. The factors affecting the crystallization processes are studied focusing on optimization of crystallization mode and improving of crystals qualitative parameters. Laser-related spectroscopic properties of Tm3+:KYW crystal, absorption and luminescence spectra as well as kinetics of luminescence decay are studied.
