The performance of deuterated potassium dihydrogen phosphate (DKDP) crystal directly affects beam quality, energy
and conversion efficiency in the Inertial Confinement Fusion(ICF)facility, which is related with the initial saturation
temperature of solution and the real-time supersaturation during the crystal growth. However, traditional method to
measure the saturation temperature is neither efficient nor accurate enough. Besides, the supersaturation is often
controlled by experience, which yields the higher error and leads to the instability during the crystal growth. In this
paper, DKDP solution with 78% deuteration concentration is crystallized in different temperatures. We study the relation
between solubility and temperature of DKDP and fit a theoretical curve with a parabola model. With the model, the
measurement of saturation temperature is simplified and the control precision of the cooling rate is improved during the
crystal growth, which is beneficial for optimizing the crystal growth process.
