非线性光学晶体K3B6O10Br的生长与光电性能研究

采用顶部籽晶溶液生长法成功生长出尺寸为42 mm×20 mm×18 mm的高光学质量的紫外非线性光学晶体K₃B₆O₁₀Br(KBB)。根据其结构对称性要求，将KBB晶体定向加工成不同的器件切型，系统表征其光电性能。对KBB晶体电弹常数进行了系统的表征，受微观结构影响，压电常数各向异性较大，最大的压电常数d₃₃=6.69 pC/N。KBB晶体具有良好的激光频率变换、电光及压电性能，在光电子领域显示出潜在的应用前景。     

Space symmetry of effective physical constants for biaxial crystals

In eight quadrants,the positive and negative signs of tensor components describing physical properties of biaxial crystals have been given.The distributions of the physical properties described with different order tensors and their space symmetries have been discussed.These results show that the distributions of effective physical constants are symmetrical in the eight quadrants for the orthorhombic system,but there are two and four kinds of distributions for monoclinic and triclinic systems respectively.Thence,to avoid ambiguities and difficulties in characterizing and applying properties of biaxial crystals,we suggest that the really positive directions of the coordinate axes should be defined before the measurements of their physical properties and their device applications.
