Photorefractive centers in LiNbO3, studied by optical-, Mössbauer- and EPR-methods

The photorefractive properties of LiNbO₃∶Fe and LiNbO₃∶Cu have been studied in combination with optical absorption-, Mössbauer- and EPR-measurements. The charge states of Fe in successively reduced LiNbO₃∶Fe have been investigated with respect to the influence on the photorefractive sensitivity and saturation value of the refractive index change. The results of this experiment demonstrate clearly the close correlation between the concentration of Fe²⁺ impurities and the optical absorption band around 2.6 eV in LiNbO₃∶Fe, which is known to give rise to an anisotropic charge transport upon optical excitation. The resulting photocurrents determine the photorefractive sensitivity mainly in the initial state of halographic exposure. With increasing conversion from Fe³⁺ to Fe²⁺ the photorefractive sensitivity saturates and the saturation value of the refractive index change decreases remarkably. In the case of LiNbO₃∶Cu a similar behaviour of the photorefractive storage parameters after successive reduction treatments has been observed qualitatively. However, in contradiction to LiNbO₃∶Fe the Cu²⁺ centers cannot be related to the photorefractive sensitivity of LiNbO₃∶Cu. These results are discussed with respect to the predictions of two models concerning the microscopic nature of the photorefractive process in doped LiNbO₃.

Cu-diffused layers in LiNbO3 for reversible holographic storage

Some holographic recording characteristics of Cu-diffused layers fabricated in Rh-doped LiNbO₃ have been examined in comparison with those fabricated in undoped lithium niobate.The diffusion layers, whose thickness depends on the diffusion temperature, are found to be enormously susceptible to optically-induced refractive index changes and to be able to attain a high diffraction efficiency. A distinguished difference is found between the persistence of holograms stored in Rh-doped and undoped LiNbO₃.     

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.

Formation dynamics of nonvolatile crossed-beam photorefractive gratings in doubly doped LiNbO3 crystals: Theoretical investigation

The formation dynamics of crossed-beam photorefractive gratings formed by the method of two-center holographic recording in doubly doped LiNbO₃ crystals is investigated in this paper based on the theoretical model combining the two-center band transport model with the two-dimensional coupled-wave theory. The numerical simulations are presented for two-center holographic recording crossed-beam photorefractive gratings in LiNbO₃:Fe:Mn crystals. The temporal and spatial evolutions of the refractive index modulation and the diffraction efficiency are shown. The spatial variation of the wave intensity is also presented.     

Refractive index profiles of LiNbO3: Ti waveguides

Influence of surroundings on photorefractive effect in lithium niobate crystals

In the paper results of the investigation of the influence of electric properties of the environment surrounding LiNbO₃ crystals on photorefractive effect induced in these crystals by Gaussian Ar⁺ laser beam with various intensities are presented. We show spatial and temporal dependences of changes of the refractive index obtained experimentally in LiNbO₃: Fe and LiNbO₃: Fe:Mn samples surrounded by media with different electric conductivities and different permittivities (water, air, water solution of CaCl₂). The space and time dependences of the refractive index changes induced by the Ar⁺ laser beam are observed by means of the Mach–Zehnder interferometer using light from HeNe laser. The experimentally obtained results are in a good agreement with those following from numerical calculations using the manifold mirroring method. The agreement between calculated and experimental results indicates that the polarization charge at the photorefractive crystal/surrounding medium boundary significantly influences the photorefractive process in the crystal. The experimentally observed slow spontaneous decrease of the refractive index change in a sample placed into a slightly conducting medium (air) after switching off the beam also indicates that the polarization charge in the sample's surroundings affects the photorefraction.
