Stoichiometric Mg:LiNbO(3) as an effective material for nonlinear optics

Photorefractive damage, optical absorption, photoconductivities, and photogalvanic currents of stoichiometric LiNbO(3) single crystals with different Mg doping levels have been investigated. Nominally pure stoichiometric LiNbO(3) shows lower photorefractive damage resistance than congruent crystal; however, stoichiometric crystals doped with MgO of more than 1.8 mol. % exhibit no measurable photorefractive damage at 532 nm to intensities of as much as 8 MW/cm(2) . This remarkable damage resistance can be attributed not only to increased photoconductivity but also to decreased photogalvanic current. Stoichiometric Mg:LiNbO(3) also demonstrates the shortest absorption edge, 302 nm, and a single-domain nature with low scattering losses.     

Conversion of broadband thermal radiation in lithium niobate crystals of various compositions

The conversion of the broadband thermal radiation in stoichiometric (R = 1) lithium niobate single crystals that are grown from melt with 58.6 mol % of LiO₂, congruent (R = Li/Nb = 0.946) melt with the K₂O flux admixture (4.5 and 6.0 wt %), and congruent melt and in congruent single crystals doped with the Zn²⁺, Gd³⁺, and Er³⁺ cations is studied. It is demonstrated that the conversion efficiency of the stoichiometric crystal that is grown from the melt with 58.6 mol % of LiO₂ is less than the conversion efficiency of congruent crystal. In addition, the stoichiometric and almost stoichiometric crystals and the doped congruent crystals exhibit the blue shift of the peak conversion intensity in comparison with a nominally pure congruent crystal. For the congruent crystals, the conversion intensities peak at 520 and 495 nm, respectively.     

The effect of MgO doping on optical properties of LiNbO3 single crystals

Undoped and MgO doped Lithium niobate single crystals were grown by the Czochralski technique. Comparative study of the optical properties of undoped and 7 mol% MgO doped LiNbO₃ crystal was undertaken. The effect of doping on refractive indices as well as second harmonic generation has been experimentally analyzed. The results of the polarization characteristics of second harmonic generation (SHG) support the major contribution of Li-O bonds to optical nonlinearity. MgO doping reduces the number of localized excitons and the grown LiNbO₃ crystal approaches the stoichiometric composition. This causes blue shift in the absorption edge of the crystals.     

Manifestation of the specific structural features of lithium niobate single crystals of different composition in their Raman spectra

The Raman spectra of nominally pure lithium niobate single crystals of congruent, close to stoichiometric, and stoichiometric compositions and congruent lithium niobate single crystals doped with Gd³⁺, Y³⁺, and Mg²⁺ ions have been investigated. Weak lines whose widths anomalously decrease with an increase in cation sublattice disordering at a change in the single crystal composition were found for the first time. These lines may be indicative of fine ordering processes involving structural units of the cation sublattice, as a result of which this sublattice is disordered as a whole.     

The correlation of doping ions to holographic storage properties of Mg:Mn:Fe:LiNbO3 crystals

The congruent Mn(0.1 wt%):Fe(0.03 wt%):LiNbO₃ crystals doped with different concentration of MgO(0,1,3,6 mol%) have been grown by Czochralski method in air atmosphere. Some crystal samples were reduced in Li₂CO₃ powder. The defects and doping ions location in crystals were investigated by UV-Vis. absorption spectrum as well as infrared transmittance spectrum analysis. In two wave coupling experiments we determined the writing time, maximum diffraction efficiency and the erasure time of four crystal samples with He-Ne laser at 633 nm. The results indicated that Mg(3 mol%):Fe:Mn:LiNbO₃ was the most proper holographic recording media material among four crystals in the paper.     

Phase-matched nonlinear diffraction

We report on a new (to our knowledge) configuration incorporating both birefringence and quasi-phase-matching, enabling efficient phase-matched nonlinear diffraction in one-dimensional periodically poled nonlinear crystals. We demonstrate the method experimentally, showing an efficient nonlinear diffraction to the first few orders in two types of crystals, MgO doped congruent lithium niobate and congruent lithium niobate, and characterize its efficiency dependence on the fundamental power, the propagation angle, and the crystal temperature. This configuration can increase efficiencies observed in nonlinear diffraction experiments, enables ferroelectric domain characterization by nonlinear microscopy, and can be used to determine the duty cycles of periodically poled nonlinear crystals.     

An optical spectroscopy study of defects in lithium tantalate single crystals

The congruent, stoichiometric, and Mg doped stoichiometric LiTaO₃ single crystals have been successfully grown by the Czochralski technique. The evolution of defect structures caused by varying composition and post-growth processing has been evaluated from the optical absorption and photoluminescence measurements. Optical absorption studies showed that the UV absorption edge is very sensitive to the composition of LiTaO₃ crystals. Photoluminescence of various LiTaO₃ single crystals at room temperature was observed. The emission bands centered at 360, 430, and 530 nm were assigned to different defects, which can well show the defect information in LiTaO₃ crystals.
