产生蓝色相干辐射和实现Nd:YAG 1.0642μm倍频90°非临界相位匹配的Nb:KTiPO4

本文报道了用熔盐顶部籽晶法生长Nb浓度(0～13)mol%的Nb:KTP晶体的倍频的Ⅱ型相位匹配的截止波长和Nd:YAG1.0642μm及Nd:YA1O₃1.0795μm激光在这些晶体中倍频的最佳相位匹配角的测量结果.从中可看出,由于Nb⁵⁺的引入使KTP晶体倍频的Ⅱ相位匹配的截止波长有效蓝移,目前已使截止波长蓝移至937nm且有效产生468.5nm的倍频蓝光.同时Nb⁵⁺的引入使Nd:YAG1.0642μm激光和Nd:YA1O₃倍频的最佳相位匹配方向产生很大的变化,目前已使Nb:KTP晶体倍频的最佳相位匹配方向为θ=88.32°、Φ=0°,非常接近于90°非临界相位匹配方向.

KZnF3:Fe3+体系局域晶体结构的理论研究

本文采用对角化三角场中d5组态完全能量矩阵的方法,研究了KZnF3Fe3+体系的局域晶体结构和EPR参量之间的关系.在分析中我们引入了双层配位模型,即配位体包括Fe3+离子最近邻的6个F-离子和次近邻的8个K+离子.计算表明KZnF3Fe3+的局域结构畸变源于一个K+离子沿C3轴方向(即[111]方向)向Fe3+离子的移动,从而诱导F-离子的位移,使得Fe3+-F-键与C3轴夹角发生变化.通过计算EPR的低对称参量D和(a-F),我们分别得出室温(T=300K)时的畸变角为△θ1=2.58°,△θ2=-1.4°和低温(T7=77 K)时畸变角为△θ1=2.85°,△θ2=-1.40计算结果与实验观察值△θ1=2.8±0.3°,△θ2=-1.1±0.3°相符合.

Growth and photorefractive properties of near-stoichiometric In:Fe:Cu:LiNbO3 crystals

The near-stoichiometric LiNbO₃ crystal co-doped with In₂O₃, Fe₂O₃, and CuO has been grown from a Li-rich melt (Li/Nb = 1.38, atomic ratio) by the Czochralski method in air atmosphere for the first time. The OH⁻ absorption spectra were characterized to investigate the structure defects of the crystals. The appearance of the 3506 cm⁻¹ absorption peak manifests that the composition of the grown crystal is close to the stoichiometric ratio. The photorefractive properties were also measured by the two-wave coupling experiments. The results show that the near-stoichiometric In:Fe:Cu:LiNbO₃ crystal has a larger refractive index change, higher recording sensitivity and larger two-wave coupling gain coefficient than those obtained in the congruent In:Fe:Cu:LiNbO₃ crystal under the same experimental conditions. The material of near-stoichiometric In:Fe:Cu:LiNbO₃ crystal is a promising candidate for blue photorefractive holographic recording.

Photorefractive and optical scattering properties of Zr:Fe:LiNbO3 crystals

The LiNbO₃ crystal co-doped with ZrO₄ and Fe₂O₃ has been grown with [Li]/[Nb]=0.85 and 1.20, respectively, by the Czochralski method in air atmosphere. The incident exposure energy flux threshold for the light-induced scattering was characterized to investigate the scattering properties of the crystals. Applying the results of the incident exposure energy flux threshold effect, the photorefractive properties at different laser wavelengths (473 nm and 532 nm) were also measured by using the typical two-wave coupling experiments. The results show that Zr:Fe:LiNbO₃ crystal has a larger refractive index change, higher recording sensitivity and larger two-wave coupling gain coefficient at 473 nm wavelength than those obtained at 532 nm wavelength under the same experimental conditions. Moreover, the photorefractive properties decrease with the increasing [Li]/[Nb] ratios. The material of Zr:Fe:LiNbO₃ crystal is a promising candidate for blue photorefractive holographic recording.

Voltage reduction for photorefractive two-wave mixing in InP:Fe by optical gap control

We report a method to increase the photorefractive two-wave mixing gain coefficient in semiconductors by using additional incident laser radiation. Two auxiliary beams are used to optimize the spatial distribution of an applied electrical field via modulation of the photoconductivity of the sample. By applying a voltage of 3.5 kV on a 4.3 mm thick InP:Fe crystal we obtain a two-wave mixing gain of 9 cm^–1. This is about 50% larger than that obtained without auxiliary beams.     

Enhancement of blue holographic properties in Zr4+-doped near stoichiometric Fe:LiNbO3 crystals

The near stoichiometric LiNbO₃ crystals co-doped with ZrO₂ and Fe₂O₃ have been grown from a Li-rich melt (Li/Nb=1.38, atomic ratio) by the Czochralski method in air atmosphere at the first time. The OH^? absorption and UV–vis absorption spectra were characterized to investigate the defect structure of the crystals. The appearances of the 3479 cm^?1 absorption peak and 358 nm absorption edge manifest that the composition of the grown crystal is close to the stoichiometric ratio. The blue holographic properties were also measured by the two-wave coupling experiments. As a result, in the near stoichiometric Zr:Fe:LiNbO₃ crystals, photorefractive response speed, recording sensitivity, and two-wave coupling gain coefficient are significantly enhanced. Meanwhile, the high saturation diffraction efficiency is still maintained. These findings prove that the material of near stoichiometric Zr:Fe:LiNbO₃ crystals are a promising candidate for blue photorefractive holographic recording.

Photorefractive properties for holographic application of Ce:Fe:LiNbO3 crystals with various [Li]/[Nb] ratios

Ce:Fe:LiNbO₃ crystals with various [Li]/[Nb] ratios were grown by the Czochralski method from melts having compositions varying between 48.6 and 58 mol% Li₂O. The Ce, Li and Nb concentrations in the grown Ce:Fe:LiNbO₃ crystals were analyzed by the inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES). It was found that as the [Li]/[Nb] ratio increases in the melt, the [Li]/[Nb] ratio in the crystal and the distribution coefficients of Ce ions increase also. The photorefractive properties of the Ce:Fe:LiNbO₃ crystals were experimentally studied by the two-wave coupling method. The results show that as the [Li]/[Nb] ratio increases, the dynamic range decreases, but the photorefractive sensitivity and the signal-to-noise ratio improve. In a coherent volume 0.192 cm³ of a Ce:Fe:LiNbO₃ crystal with [Li]/[Nb] ratio of 1.2, 3800 holograms with 800×600 pixels have been successfully multiplexed in a compact volume holographic data storage system.     

INVESTIGATION OF PHOTOREFRACTIVE TWO-WAVE COUPLING IN Cr-DOPED STRONTIUM BARIUM NIOBATE CRYSTAL

We present here the experimental results of photorefractive two-wave coupling in the congruent strontium barium niobate (SBN:61) crystal doped with 1000ppm Cr. Employing a He－Ne laser (632.8nm), we observed the coupling characteristics under different conditions. The crystal shows excellent photorefractive properties, with a high coupling coefficient nearly 6cm^-1 as the beam intensity ratio m is less than 100. The saturated coupling coefficient of SBN:61:Cr shows a maximum at a certain external beam crossing angle 2θ_peak, which varies with different m, showing a nearly linear dependence on m. The saturated coupling response time τ is measured to be less than 0.8 s. The response time decreased with increasing beam crossing angles no matter how large m is. We also observed the behaviour of the probe beam in reversed experimental procedures. We found that the probe beam shows a bistable state in both procedures.
