短脉冲光在光伏光折变晶体中写入和擦除光折变光栅理论研究

利用GC Valley的准连续光(Quasi-cw)近似模型,研究了短脉冲激光(纳秒ns量级)在光伏光折变材料LiNbO3晶体中写入和擦除光折变光栅的过程,给出了空间电荷场随时间变化的表达式.理论研究表明,空间电荷场的形成和擦除与两个时间参量有关,在考虑或者不考虑光生伏打效应两种情况下,这两个参量随擦除光强的变化有基本相同的变化规律,光栅的写入和擦除有相同的结果.同样,擦除一个光栅所需的光能量在两种情况下也有相同的结果.因此,在短脉冲光入射光折变晶体材料情况下,考虑光生伏打效应与不考虑光伏效应,对短脉冲光在光折变LiNbO3晶体中写入和擦除光栅基本没有影响.     

连续光条件下对LiNbO3:Fe:Mn晶体全息存储性能的理论研究

以双中心模型为基础,在低光强连续光条件下研究了LiNbO3:Fe:Mn晶体在稳态情况下的非挥发双光双步全息存储性能.采用数值方法.通过比较双中心模型中深(Mn2 /Mn3 )、浅(Fe2 /Fe2 )能级之间所有可能的电子交换过程,发现由隧穿效应引起的深浅能级之间直接电子交换过程对LiNbO3:Fe:Mn晶体总的空间电荷场大小起着决定性的作用.同时.这一电子交换过程对晶体非挥发全息存储性能也起着至关重要的作用.此外.通过相同实验条件下LiNbO3:Fe:Mn晶体与近化学比LiNbO3:Fe晶体总的空间电荷场的比较,显示LiNbO3:Fe:Mn晶体在低抽运光和高记录光光强条件下有着比近化学比LiNbO3:Fe晶体更佳的伞息存储性能.     

低功率近红外光的偏振方向对光致折射率变化影响的实验研究

研究了利用低功率近红外光辐照In:Fe:LiNbO3晶体时写入光束的偏振方向对光致折射率变化(Δn)的影响.分别采用正常偏振(o光)和非常偏振(e光)的近红外细激光束,在In:Fe:LiNbO3晶体中进行了光折变实验.研究表明,两种偏振方向引起晶体的Δn实测曲线相似,但变化规律恰好相反,o光引起的折射率变化量约是e光的3倍左右.近红外光写入下两种偏振光束引起晶体的Δn分布规律都不同于可见光,尤其是e光辐照区域中心晶体的折射率升高.因此,通过选择不同偏振方向的近红外光可以在光折变晶体中制作不同折射率分布的非线性光学器件.     

Nb掺杂导致LaMnO_3绝缘体-金属转变的第一性原理研究

采用基于密度泛函理论(DFT)的第一性原理计算,系统研究了Nb掺杂LaMn_(1-x)Nb_xO_3(x=0,0. 25,0. 5,0. 75)的结构和电磁性质.计算结果表明,所有的LaMn_(1-x)Nb_xO_3都稳定在正交结构. LaMn_(1-x)Nb_xO_3当x 0. 5时为A型反铁磁绝缘体,在x=0. 5和0. 75时为G型反铁磁金属.随着Nb掺杂量增加,当x=0. 5时掺杂电子占据导带的底部,系统产生绝缘体-金属转变.这意味着LaMn_(1-x)Nb_xO_3在电子器件上可能有重要的应用.另外,LaMn_(1-x)Nb_xO_3在x=0. 25和0. 75时出现了自旋玻璃行为.

Theory of 2×2 switch based on electro-optic and piezoelectric effects in photorefractive LiNbO3 crystal

Based on the electro-optic and piezoelectric effects, the principle of a 2×2 bypass-exchange switch in photorefractive LiNbO₃ crystal is discussed. In photorefractive volume grating, the Bragg condition can be changed by applying a field during readout. That is, by applying a specific field E_s or zero, the diffraction efficiency will be 0 or 1, respectively and this property can be used to realize the bypass or exchange operation of the switch. In this paper, considering both the piezoelectric and electro-optic effects caused by the applied electric field, we analyzed relations of both the specific field and the incident intensity ratio with respect to the writing angles and polarizations of writing beams.     

Study on Optimum Incident Angles of Cross Polarized Four-Wave Mixing with a Photorefractive Crystal

We consider the optimum incident angles of cross polarized four-wave mixing with a photorefractive crystal. First, the phase matching angles are obtained for two operation modes: one in which the writing beams are ordinary rays and the reading beam is an extraordinary ray, we call this Mode 1. The other in which the writing beams are extraordinary rays and the reading beam is an ordinary ray, Mode 2. Next, practicable ranges of the incident angles are calculated considering of the total internal reflection of the phase conjugate beam in cases where the two writing beams illuminate the same surface of the BaTiO₃ crystal and where they illuminate the neighboring right-angled surfaces, respectively. Then, the coupling coefficient is determined as a function of the incident angle, and the optimum incident angles for effective beam interaction in Mode 1 and Mode 2 are estimated.     

Nonlinearity of a response in photorefractive crystals with a square-wave applied field

The space-charge-field formation in a photorefractive crystal illuminated by a one-dimensional light pattern is studied when an alternating square-wave electric field is applied to the crystal. We derive the general nonlinear equation for the time-averaged distribution of the space-charge field and employ the simplified versions of this equation to analyze the space-charge-field formation in the case of a Gaussian beam and interference light pattern. The borders of the applicability of simplified equations and analytic expressions to describe a self-action of light beams and the large modulation effects under two-beam coupling are estimated from the numerical calculations.

Giant low-field magnetocaloric effect in EuTi_(1-x)Nb_xO_3(x = 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2) compounds

The magnetic properties and magnetocaloric effect(MCE)of EuTi(1-x)NbxO3(x=0.05,0.1,0.15,and 0.2)compounds are investigated.Owing to electronic doping,parts of Ti ions are replaced by Nb ions,the lattice constant increases and a small number of Ti⁴⁺(3d^0)ions change into Ti³⁺(3d^1).It is the ferromagnetism state that is dominant in the derivative balance.The values of the maximum magnetic entropy change(-?SM^max)are 10.3 J/kg·K,9.6 J/kg·K,13.1 J/kg·K,and 11.9 J/kg·K for EuTi(1-x)NbxO3(x=0.05,0.1,0.15,and 0.2)compounds and the values of refrigeration capacity are 36,33,86,and 80 J/kg as magnetic field changes in a range of 0 T–1 T.The EuTi(1-x)NbxO3(x=0.05,0.1,0.15,and 0.2)compounds with giant reversible MCE are considered as a good candidate for magnetic refrigerant working at lowtemperature and low-field.     

Photorefractive effect induced by polarization gratings in dye-doped liquid crystals

We report on the photorefractive effect induced by a polarization grating in the presence of dc voltage in a dye-doped liquid-crystal (DDLC) film. The writing beams are two orthogonally (left- and right-circularly) polarized laser beams that create a spatially polarization-modulated interference field with constant intensity. The photorefractivity is ascribed to the absorption anisotropy of the azo dye. The unique dichroism of a DDLC cell causes a spatial variation in the absorption of light in response to a polarization-modulated interference field. Such a variation establishes a space-charge field in the presence of dc voltage, generating photorefractivity. Two-beam couplings were also verified and measured dynamically during the formation of the photorefractive grating in this study.
