Single crystals of sodium chloride (NaCl) of dimension 1 × 1 cm² have been successfully grown from various solution growth methods like slow evaporation, fast evaporation, and slow cooling techniques. The crystalline qualities of the samples grown from the above methods were assessed using X-ray rocking curve and 2θ scan measurements. The grown crystals were also characterized for its optical transmission in IR region. Infact the crystal possesses ~ 76% optical transparency in the IR regime and it approaches the transparency value of the commercially available crystal. The cost estimation of laboratory grown crystal and as well as the standard NaCl optical window wafer (Commercial sample) has been compared, so as to ensure the feasibility of growing NaCl wafers at an affordable price. The obtained results have been discussed in detail.

尺寸为 1 × 1 cm ^{2 的}氯化钠 (NaCl) 单晶已通过各种溶液生长方法成功生长，例如缓慢蒸发、快速蒸发和缓慢冷却技术。使用 X 射线摇摆曲线和 2 θ扫描测量。生长的晶体的特征还在于其在 IR 区域的光学传输。事实上，该晶体在 IR 范围内具有约 76% 的光学透明度，它接近市售晶体的透明度值。已经比较了实验室生长晶体和标准 NaCl 光学窗口晶片（商业样品）的成本估算，以确保以可承受的价格生长 NaCl 晶片的可行性。已经详细讨论了所获得的结果。
