The wavelength dependence of the space-charge field as induced in near-stoichiometric LiTaO3 crystals is investigated by measuring the bulk photogalvanic effect and the photoconductivity. LiTaO3 crystals of composition nearer to stoichiometry exhibit a pronounced reduction of the saturated space-charge field, which
results from a larger increase in the photoconductivity relative to the photogalvanic effect. Especially, at near-UV wavelengths,
the saturated space-charge field of the order of 0.1 kV/cm reaches a minimum that is two orders of magnitude lower than typical
values observed in undoped near-stoichiometric LiNbO3.

Analysis of THz-wave surface-emitted difference-frequency generation in periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
It was shown that the periodically poled LiNbO3-waveguide with period of poling λ≈λ/ng (λ is the wavelength of emitted THz-wave, ng is a refractive index corresponding to optical group velocity) emits THz-wave difference-frequency generation (DFG) in the
direction normal to the surface of the planar waveguide. The 5% distinction between the manufactured and required periods
of gratings results only in a small deflection (∼6°) of the output THz-beam from the normal direction. The dependence of DFG
efficiency on mode size is analyzed. The output THz power at λ=150 μm is estimated as 2 mW, taking into account imperfections
in coupling incident beams with guided modes. It was shown that the efficiency of THz-wave DFG in surface-emitting geometry
is more than for collinear geometry in bulk crystal, especially in the high-absorption wavelength region.

X-Ray-induced absorption changes in Cu-doped lithium niobate crystals (LiNbO3) are investigated. All induced photochromic effects are fully reversible, i.e., illumination with white light annihilates
the absorption changes. With increasing doping level, a decrease in the saturation value of the absorption changes is found.
Changes of the Li concentration of the crystal to a more stoichiometric composition via Li indiffusion further decreases the
photochromic effect. For sufficient X-ray doses, the saturation value is independent of the radiation energy in the measured
range from 50–150 kV. The spectral distribution of the X-ray-induced absorption changes and the slow dark decay indicate that
the additional absorption results from an increase of the Cu+ concentration.

The impact of protons and copper on the dark conductivity of copper-doped photorefractive lithium niobate crystals is investigated
by observation of the dark decay of holograms. The dark conductivity is significantly smaller than that of iron-doped lithium
niobate. A non-mono-exponential hologram decay is observed, which needs to be considered for multiplexing of holograms.

The electrooptic effect in lithium niobate crystals (LiNbO3) for extremely high externally applied electric fields of up to 65 kV/mm is investigated. Homogeneous electrooptic refractive-index
changes of up to 4.8×10-3 are found for ordinarily polarized light. No quadratic electrooptic effect is observed. An upper bound for the quadratic
electrooptic coefficient of |s13|≤2.3×10-21 m2/V2 is determined. Electrooptic, angular, and wavelength tuning of the Bragg condition of a thermally fixed hologram are demonstrated.

Poling dynamics of lithium niobate crystals 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Ferroelectric domain reversal via electric field poling of congruently melting lithium niobate (LiNbO3) crystals is investigated. An electro-optic interferometric observation technique reveals spatial and temporal dynamics of
the poling process. Starting from seeds, the domains grow until the entire crystal has a switched polarization. During the
switching process the boundaries are preferentially aligned along the crystallographic axes. The coercive field between two
sequenced domain inversions is transiently reduced after a poling event, and recovers exponentially with a time constant of
about half a minute. No light-induced change of the recovery time constant, neither with green nor with ultraviolet light,
is observed. The results are of relevance for domain engineering of LiNbO3 crystals.

Non-congruent LiNbO3 crystals has been used to determine the influence of the intrinsic defect density in the ferroelectric domain inversion mechanism.
The poling processes have been carried out either at high temperature or at RT throughout the electric-field-poling technique.
It is shown that the coercive field of LiNbO3 crystals is strongly influenced by the intrinsic defect density in the crystals. Moreover it is shown that it is possible
to realign the ferroelectric domain structure of near-stoichiometric LiNbO3 crystals to prepare periodic poled structures which allows second harmonic generation at shorter wavelengths than with congruent
crystals at a fixed wavelength.

3 crystals at continuous-wave illumination are reported. The investigation clearly indicates an increase in the photorefraction
amplitude Δns (at saturation) with light intensity J for all crystals studied. The main result is a correlation between ∂(Δns)/∂J and the density N of intrinsic defects such as NbLi. This effect is independent of the accidental iron contamination. Therefore at low J, Δns decreases with an increase in N, whereas at high J the opposite dependence is observed. The threshold intensity value of
such a transformation correlates with the optical quality of the crystal. It has been established that these photorefraction
changes are connected with the light induced absorption of the secondary centers, caused by the existence of the metastable
small polarons at room temperature during illumination.

Photorefractive properties of highly-doped lithium niobate crystals in the visible and near-infrared 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Light-induced refractive-index changes, bulk-photovoltaic current densities, and photoconductivities of photorefractive iron-doped
lithium niobate crystals (iron concentrations between 0.02 and 0.17 wt. %) are investigated in detail using visible and near-infrared
light. It turns out that the one-center model predicts the material performance correctly for small iron concentrations (cFe<0.06 wt. % Fe2O3), only. A strong increase of the photoconductivity for higher doping levels limits the space-charge fields. Refractive-index
changes up to 7×10-4 for green and 2.8×10-4 for near-infrared ordinarily polarized light are obtained. The corresponding hologram multiplexing numbers are 11 for green
and 5 for near-infrared light.

The dielectric behaviour of doped near-stoichiometric lithium niobate in the terahertz range 下载免费PDF全文
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. 相似文献

Rutherford backscattering (RBS) and secondary-ion mass spectrometry techniques have been used to investigate the two-step
process involved during waveguide fabrication in LiNbO3 using Zn-vapour diffusion. Compositional analysis (O, Nb, Li and Zn) in the two steps has been characterised. RBS analysis
reveals that the first step, involving a heating of the substrate under a metallic Zn atmosphere, gives rise to a partial
exchange between the Nb and Li ions from the crystals and the Zn from the vapour source. The second treatment at higher temperature
in an open atmosphere diffuses the Zn deeper into the substrate, thus forming an optical waveguide, while the Nb and Li ions
recover their bulk values.

Exceptionally high values of photorefractive gain coefficient of up to 100 cm-1 have been observed in Fe-doped and Fe/Tb-doped crystals of photorefractive lithium niobate. It is believed that these are
the highest observed coefficients of any crystalline photorefractive medium. Accurate measurements of gain coefficient have
been possible for the first time by using a specially cut triangular crystal which allows the use of short interaction lengths
and the complete elimination of surface reflections by having the beams incident at Brewster’s angle. Experimental results
are consistent with a simple model of photorefractive beam coupling up until the onset of noise which is observed to deplete
the pump for interaction lengths longer than 1 mm.

Modification of the chemical etching behaviour of undoped congruent z-cut lithium niobate single crystals is achieved by pre-illumination
of the –z face of the crystal with sub-ps ultraviolet laser radiation at 248 nm, at energy fluences below the threshold for
ablation. A systematic study of the effect of the energy fluence and total exposure on the etch frustration is presented.

Preparation and characterization of lithium niobate as a novel photocatalyst in hydrogen generation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Several chemical compounds based lithium niobate have been tested in the reaction for the photocatalytic hydrogen generation. The photocatalysts have been prepared by impregnation of Nb2O5 in the aqueous solution of lithium hydroxide and then the calcination at the temperature range of 400-650 °C. In this report, we present the interesting study showing that the most active catalyst for the photocatalytic generation of hydrogen is the one containing two lithium niobate phases such as LiNbO3 and LiNb3O8. It means that the lithium niobates based catalyst without any further modification or doping can be applied as a novel material for this process. 相似文献

We examined the application of mass spectrometric methods using resonant ionization by a tunable laser and proposed its use
for analyzing hydrogen isotopes. We conducted resonance ionization mass spectrometry (RIMS) to detect gas-phase hydrogen isotope
atoms. The ionization efficiency was increased by more than 1000 times that obtained with conventional methods using nonresonant
ionization. Resonant laser ablation mass spectrometry (RLAMS) was applied for deuterium detection in solid samples. A graphite
substrate implanted with deuterium was used for ordinary laser ablation mass spectrometry (LAMS) and RLAMS. The deuterium
signal was observed very clearly by RLAMS, in contrast to LAMS. Mass spectrometry combined with resonance ionization was very
useful for hydrogen isotope detection, because components with equal mass numbers were resolved and the method demonstrated
higher ionization efficiency.

Collinear broadband optical parametric generation (OPG) using periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystals were designed
and experimentally demonstrated with the quasi-phase matching (QPM) periods of 21.5, 24.0, and 27.0 μm. The broad gain bandwidth was accomplished by choosing a specific set of the period and the pump wavelength that allows
the group velocities of the signal and the idler to match close to the degeneracy point. OPG gain bandwidth and also the spectral
region could be controlled by proper design of QPM period and pump wavelength. The total OPG gain bandwidth of 600, 900, and
1200 nm was observed for the PPLN devices with QPM periods of 21.5, 24.0, and 27.0 μm, respectively. We have also observed multiple color visible generation whenever the OPG spectrum was significantly broad.
From the visible peaks of the three PPLN samples, it is found that broad gain bandwidth is crucial in the temperature-insensitive
collinear simultaneous RGB generation from a single crystal. 相似文献

3 by photorefractive forward four-wave mixing. The intensity of a signal beam is amplified by a factor up to 3000. We show
that heating of the crystal by absorption of the pump light influences the gain because of the thermo-optic effect. Thus both,
amplification and generation can be controlled by the intensities of the pump beams.

Photoluminescence related to the bound polaron NbLi4+ is investigated as a function of temperature and incident light intensity in iron-doped lithium niobate crystals with various
iron concentrations. Experiments are done under constant-wave (CW) and pulsed illumination. Its found that the decay time
is always monoexponential. The radiative lifetime, the activation energy of the nonradiative lifetime and the quenching temperature
are only weakly sensitive to iron concentration. On the other hand, the magnitude of the photoluminescence signal seems strongly
correlated to the Fe2+ concentration, and the superlinear regime evidenced at low CW illumination definitely confirms that polaron excitation in
lithium niobate is a two-step process. 相似文献
