晶体电光和非线性光学效应的离子基团理论(Ⅲ)——利用畸变氧八面体的离子基团模型计算LiNbO3,LiTaO3,KNbO3,BNN晶体的电光和倍频系数

本文用文献[1]中所提出的(MO₆)离子基团模型,计算LiNbO₃,LiTaO₃,KNbO₃,BNN等晶体的电光和倍频系数。假设在O_h对称时,这些晶体中的氧八面体具有相同的能级和对称波函数,则通过群表示理论就可得到在C_3ν,C_2ν对称性时氧八面体的能级和对称波函数,并进而用ABDP理论计算它们的电光和倍频系数。计算结果和实验符合得相当好。本文并从理论上解释了这些晶体的倍频系数大小、符号和氧八面体畸变间的关系,由此可以得到以下两个结论:(1)畸变氧八面体的离子基团模型不但适用于钙钛矿型材料,同时也适用于钨青铜型、LiNbO₃型材料。(2)在钨青铜型、LiNbO₃型的材料中,仍是“离子键”对电光和倍频效应作出主要贡献,同时由于LiTaO₃的共价键成份比LiNbO₃大,因而LiTaO₃的非线性光学效应比LiNbO₃小。

Nonvolatile photorefractive holographic recording in Sc:Ce:Cu:LiNbO3

In this paper experimental studies of nonvolatile photorefractive holographic recording in Ce:Cu:LiNbO₃ crystals doped with Sc(0,1,2,3 mol%) were carried out. The Sc:Ce:Cu:LiNbO₃ crystals were grown by the Czochralski method and oxidized in Nb₂O₅ powders. The nonvolatile holographic recording in Sc:Ce:Cu:LiNbO₃ crystals was realized by the two-photon fixed method. We found that the recording time of Sc:Ce:Cu:LiNbO₃ crystal became shorter with the increase of Sc doping concentration, especially doping with Sc(3 mol%), which exceeds the so-called threshold, and there was little loss of nonvolatile diffraction efficiencies between Sc(3 mol%):Ce:Cu:LiNbO₃ and Ce:Cu:LiNbO₃ crystals.     

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.     

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.     

Influence of post-growth treatment on the optical properties of In:Ce:Cu:LiNbO3 crystals

Congruent In (3 mol%):Ce:Cu:LiNbO₃ crystals have been grown by the Czochralski method in air. Some crystal samples were reduced in Li₂CO₃ power, and others were oxidized in Nb₂O₅ power. The structure of crystals was studied by an infrared transmittance spectrum. The resistance ability to optical damage and the photorefractive properties were measured by light-induced scattering experiments and two-beam coupling, respectively. It has been found that the reduction treatment increased the photoconductivity , which resulted in decreased erasure time and diffraction efficiency, but higher light-induced scattering resistance ability. The oxidation treatment caused the inverse affect. Finally, the nonvolatile holographic recording in In:Ce:Cu:LiNbO3 crystals is realized.     

The dielectric behaviour of doped near-stoichiometric lithium niobate in the terahertz range

The dielectric properties of near-stoichiometric LiNbO₃:Fe and LiNbO₃:Ce single crystals have been investigated using terahertz time domain spectroscopy in a frequency range of 0.7-1.6 THz at room temperature. When coupled with an applied external optical field, obvious photorefractive effects were observed, resulting in a modulation of the complex dielectric constant for the crystals. The variation in refractive index, |Δn|, had a linear relationship with the applied light intensity, accompanied by a step-like decrease at high intensity. The findings were attributed to the internal space charge field of the photorefraction and the light-induced domain reversal in the crystals.

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.     

Influence of Li/Nb ratios on defect structure and photorefractive properties of Zn: In: Fe: LiNbO3 crystals

A series of Zn: In: Fe: LiNbO₃ crystals are grown by the Czochralski technique with various ratios of Li/Nb = 0.94, 1.05, 1.20 and 1.38 in the melt. The Zn, In, Fe, Nb and Li concentrations in the crystals are analyzed by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectrometry. The results indicate that with increasing the [Li]/[Nb] ratio in melt, [Li]/[Nb] ratio increases and goes up continuously in the crystal, the segregation coefficients of both Zn and In ions decrease. The absorption spectra measurement and two-wave coupling experiment are employed to study the effect of [Li]/[Nb] ratio on photorefractive properties of Zn: In: Fe: LiNbO₃ crystals. It is found that the [Li]/[Nb] ratio increases, the write time is shortened and the photorefractive sensitivity is improved.
