The origin of three kinds of scatter centers in KDP and DKDP crystals and their relations were investigated. The results have shown that solid inclusions will form liquid and gas inclusions in KDP (DKDP) crystals. The effect of scatter centers on Laser Damage Threshold of the crystals is not same because their sizes are different.
