光诱导光子晶格折射率调制度的实验研究

在不同掺Fe浓度的LiNbO3晶体中,分别用红光和绿光写入光子晶格,利用双光束干涉研究,晶格周期、掺Fe浓度、光波波长与晶格的光致折射率调制度之间的关系.实验结果表明:当用红光(λ=633 nm)写入光子晶格时,掺Fe浓度不大于0.05 wt%;当用绿光(λ=532 nm)写入光子晶格,掺Fe浓度不大于0.03、wt%时,LiN-bO3:Fe晶体的光致折射率调制度随晶格周期的变化存在一个极大值,并随掺铁浓度的增加,相应的折射率调制度极大值也增大,且向品格周期小的方向移动,这与一中心模型理论得到的关系曲线的变化趋势是相一致的;若掺Fe浓度大于以上两值,理论曲线则完全与实验曲线不符,说明一中心模型的空间电荷场理论只适用于小掺Fe浓度的LiNbO3晶体;实验还发现LiNbO3:Fe晶体折射率调制度跟写入光波长有关,用同一块晶体,绿光写入时调制度会比红光更大,且极大值更向晶格周期小的方向移动.

Experimental research of refractive index modulation degree about optically induced photonic lattices

Refractive index modulation degree of light-induced photonic lattices is studied by utilizing a standard two-beam interference setup in LiNbO3 crystals with different iron doping concentration.The relation between the refractive index modulation degree of light-induced photon lattice and the lattices period,the iron doping concentration and the light wave wavelength are investigated.The experiment result indicates that in these crystals with small iron doping concentration,the experimental rule of refractiv...
