Photorefractive properties of iron-doped stoichiometric lithium niobate

The photorefractive properties of stoichiometric LiNbO(3) crystals with a small number of defect densities grown by the double-crucible Czochralski method are investigated and compared with the defect densities of commercially available congruent Fe-doped LiNbO(3) crystals. Two-wave-mixing experiments show that novel stoichiometric crystals exhibit larger photorefractive gain and considerably faster response times than congruent ones. The results indicate that the nonstoichiometry defect control of photorefractive crystals is of key importance for the improvement of their properties.     

铟掺杂对Fe:LiNbO3晶体近红外光折变性能的影响

采用在Fe:LiNbO3中掺入了铟离子生长的双掺杂InFe:LiNbO3晶体,以波长为1064 nm的近红外会聚光束作为记录光源,通过数字观测装置,对比研究了铟离子掺入前后Fe:LiNbO3晶体和InFe:LiNbO3晶体的光折变性能。实验研究结果表明,铟离子掺入后晶体的光折变响应速度和抗光折变能力明显提高,饱和折射率变化量降低。初步分析认为,InFe:LiNbO3晶体光折变性能的增强是由于掺入的铟离子取代了部分光折变敏感中心,降低了光敏中心的数量,导致晶体光电导增大,响应时间随之缩短。

Improved ultraviolet photorefractive properties of vanadium-doped lithium niobate crystals

A series of vanadium-doped lithium niobate (LN:V) crystals has been grown and their photorefractive properties were investigated. For 0.1 mol. % V-doped LiNbO(3), a fast photorefractive response of 160 ms was obtained with a 351 nm laser and a total light intensity of 583 mW/cm(2). The measurements of the x-ray photoelectron spectrum and electron paramagnetic resonance show that V(3+), V(4+), and V(5+) ions exist in these LN:V crystals. V(3+) and V(4+) ions correspond to the 420 and 475 nm absorption peaks, respectively. The fast photorefractive response and high sensitivity indicate that LN:V is a suitable candidate for UV photorefractive applications.

铜铁镁三掺铌酸锂晶体的第一性原理研究

利用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理,研究了Cu:Fe:Mg:LiNbO3晶体及对比组的电子结构和光学特性.研究显示,单掺铜或铁铌酸锂晶体的杂质能级分别由Cu 3d轨道或Fe 3d轨道贡献,禁带宽度分别为3.45和3.42 eV;铜、铁共掺铌酸锂晶体杂质能级由Cu和Fe的3d轨道共同贡献,禁带宽度为3.24 eV,吸收峰分别在3.01,2.53和1.36 eV处;Cu:Fe:Mg:LiNbO3晶体中Mg^2+浓度低于阈值或高于阈值(阈值约为6.0 mol%)的禁带宽度分别为2.89 eV或3.30 eV,吸收峰分别位于2.45 eV,1.89 eV或2.89 eV,2.59 eV,2.24 eV.Mg^2+浓度高于阈值,会使吸收边较低于阈值情况红移;并使得部分Fe^3+占Nb位,引起晶体场改变,从而改变吸收峰位置和强度.双光存储应用中可选取2.9 eV作为擦除光,2.5 eV作为读取和写入光,选取Mg^2+浓度达到阈值的三掺晶体在增加动态范围和灵敏度等参量以及优化再现图像的质量等方面更具优势.     

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.     

同成分掺镁铌酸锂晶体紫外光致吸收阈值效应的研究

研究了同成分掺镁铌酸锂晶体中的紫外光致吸收效应。通过对不同掺Mg浓度铌酸锂晶体的紫外光致吸收系数和双色存储灵敏度的测量,发现同成分掺镁铌酸锂晶体的紫外光致吸收效应具有Mg离子浓度阈值效应。只有当掺Mg摩尔分数大于3．0％时,从近紫外一直延伸到近红外波段的紫外光致吸收效应才显示出来。这一Mg离子浓度阈值效应进一步为双色存储灵敏度的测量结果所证实。该浓度阈值小于掺镁铌酸锂晶体抗光损伤效应的摩尔分数阈值4．6％。这种紫外光致吸收现象可能和掺镁铌酸锂晶体中反位铌NbLi浓度的急剧减少基本消失有关。     

Fast photorefractive response in strongly reduced near-stoichiometric LiNbO(3) crystals

The photorefractive response time of LiNbO(3) crystal is of the order of minutes, and such a long response time limits the crystal's practical applications. We report the photorefractive properties of nominally pure near-stoichiometric LiNbO(3) crystal that is strongly reduced in vacuum. A short photorefractive response time of the order of 100 ms is measured at a wavelength of 514.5 nm, with incident light intensity of 1.6 W/cm (2) , and possible corresponding mechanisms are discussed. To our knowledge this is the first experimental evidence of a subsecond photorefractive response in pure LiNbO(3) crystals. The diffraction efficiency of a holographic grating written in this reduced crystal is low but can be enhanced by an externally applied electric field.     

OH~- absorption and nonvolatile holographic storage properties in Mg:Ru:Fe:LiNbO_3 crystal as a function of Mg concentration

Mg:Ru:Fe:LiNbO3 crystals with various concentrations of MgO (in mole) and fixed content of RuO2 and Fe2O3 (in mass) are grown with the Czochralski method from the congruent melt. Their infrared transmission spectra are measured and discussed to investigate the defect structure. With the increase of Mg2+ concentration the blue nonvolatile holographic storage capability is enhanced. The nonvolatile holographic storage properties of dual-wavelength recording of Mg(7 mol%):Ru:Fe:LiNbO3 nonvolatile diffraction efficiency, response time, and nonvolatile sensitivity reach 59.8%, 70 s, and 1.04 cm/J, respectively. Comparing Mg(7 mol%):Ru:Fe:LiNbO3 with Ru:Fe:LiNbO3 crystal, the response time is shortened apparently. The nonvolatile diffraction efficiency and sensitivity are raised largely. The mechanism in blue photorefractive nonvolatile holographic storage is discussed.     

Enhancement of ultraviolet photorefraction in highly magnesium-doped lithium niobate crystals

We investigate UV photorefraction in Mg-doped LiNbO(3) crystals. Strong UV photorefraction is achieved in highly Mg-doped LiNbO(3) crystals with high two-wave mixing gain, fast response, and low noise. It is also demonstrated experimentally that so-called damage-resistant dopants such as Mg are damage resistant only in the visible and that they will enhance photorefraction in the UV.     

LiNbO3∶Cr∶Cu晶体吸收特性及非挥发全息存储研究

Nonvolatile photorefractive properties in triply doped stoichiometric Mg：Fe：Mn：LiTaO3 crystals

We have grown triply doped Mg:Fe:Mn:LiTaO3 crystals with near stoichiometry using the top seeded solution growth technique. The defect structure was investigated by infrared absorption spectra and Curie temperature. Using a blue laser as the source, excellent photorefractive properties were obtained. Nonvolatile holographic storage properties were investigated using the dual wavelength technique. We got a very high fixed diffraction efficiency and nonvolatile holographic storage sensitivity. The blue light has more than enough energy to excite holes of deep(Mn) and shallow(Fe) trap centers with the same phase, which enhance dramatically the blue photorefractive properties and the nonvolatile holographic storage. Mg2+ ion is no longer damage resistant at blue laser, but enhances photorefractive characteristics.

Ultraviolet photorefractive effect in Mg-doped near-stoichiometric LiNbO3

The ultraviolet photorefractive effect of Mg-doped near-stoichiometric LiNbO₃ crystals prepared by vapor transport equilibration (VTE) technique was studied at 351 nm. It was found in the near-stoichiometric LiNbO₃ crystals that the ultraviolet photorefractive effect could be enhanced greatly with the increase of Mg concentration. Based on the activation energy of dark decay of the photorefractive grating, possible centers responsible for the ultraviolet photorefractive effect were also discussed.     

The effect of In doping on optical properties of Fe:LiNBO3 crystals

Fe:LiNbO₃ and In:Fe:LiNbO₃ crystals were grown by Czochralski method. The absorption spectra were measured to investigate their defect structure. The photo damage resistance and photorefractive properties were measured. The photo damage resistance of the In:Fe:LiNbO₃ crystal in which the In concentration is above the threshold value is one order of magnitude higher than that of the Fe:LiNbO₃ crystal. The mechanisms of the violet shift of the absorption edge and the enhancement of the photorefractive effect of In:Fe:LiNbO₃ crystals were investigated.
