Preparation and holographic storage properties of tri-doped Mg:Mn:Fe:LiNbO3 crystals

Doping MgO, MnO and Fe₂O₃ in LiNbO₃ crystals, tri-doped Mg:Mn:Fe:LiNbO₃ single crystals were prepared by the conventional Czochralski method. The UV-vis absorption spectra were measured and the shift mechanism of absorption edge was also investigated in this paper. In Mg:Mn:Fe:LiNbO₃ crystal, Mn and Fe locate at the deep level and the shallow level, respectively. The two-photon holographic storage is realized in Mg:Mn:Fe:LiNbO₃ crystals by using He-Ne laser as the light source and ultraviolet as the gating light. The results indicated that the recording time can be significantly reduced for introducing Mg²⁺ in the Mg:Mn:Fe:LiNbO₃ crystal.     

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.     

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.

Structural homogeneity of photorefractive LiNbO<Subscript>3</Subscript> crystals doped with 0.03–4.5 mol % of ZnO

Using the electronic spectroscopy method, the laser-conoscopy method, and the Raman light-scattering method, we have studied the structural homogeneity of LiNbO₃ crystals doped with 0.03–4.5 mol % of ZnO. We have found that, as the laser radiation power is increased to 90 mW, the conoscopic patterns of crystals show additional distortions, which are attributed to the manifestation of the photorefractive effect. For the LiNbO₃ crystal doped with 4.5 mol % of ZnO, in which the photorefractive effect is low, we have revealed a considerable shift (compared to the remaining crystals) of the optical absorption edge toward the shortwavelength range, which indicates a high structural homogeneity of this crystal. We have shown that, in the LiNbO₃ crystal doped by 0.05 mol % ZnO, due to the displacement of Nb_Li and Li□ structural defects by Zn²⁺ cations, the crystal structure is ordered and, simultaneously, the number of defects with localized electrons decreases.     

Reduction-induced polarons and optical response of Mg-doped LiNbO<Subscript>3</Subscript> crystals

We studied the visible and IR dispersion of absorption coefficient and refractive index for congruent LiNbO₃ and Mg:LiNbO₃ crystals before and after chemical reduction at different annealing temperatures. The concentration of Mg in Mg:LiNbO₃ samples was just below or above the photorefractive threshold. The reduction-induced changes in the absorption coefficient reveal the formation of polarons typical for doped LiNbO₃ crystals. It was shown that the polaron concentration is maximal when the Mg concentration is just below the photorefractive threshold and the annealing temperature is near 500 °C. This temperature is optimal for the most efficient polaron formation at all considered concentrations of Mg. The fitting of the experimental absorption dispersion curves indicates that intermediate polarons are formed in LiNbO₃:Mg crystals preferably. The spectral dependence of transmission for samples of lithium niobate of various thicknesses was studied. The results indicate that there are spatial regions with much greater absorption than that of bulk crystals. We assume that, in general, polarons are localized in thin near-surface regions. The spectral dependence of the refractive index in the vicinity of the phonon absorption edge indicates some essential changes of the phonon subsystem taking place after reduction. The infrared contribution into the dispersion of the dielectric function real part increases considerably after reduction. PACS 71.38.Ht; 71.38.-k; 78.20.Ci     

Praseodymium-doped Ti:LiNbO3 waveguides

3 by diffusion doping is investigated by means of secondary neutral mass spectrometry and secondary ion mass spectrometry. The diffusion of praseodymium in LiNbO₃ can be described by Fick’s laws of diffusion with a concentration-independent diffusion coefficient and a limited solubility of praseodymium in LiNbO₃ increasing exponentially with rising temperature. The diffusion depends on the Li₂O content of the LiNbO₃ crystal. For LiNbO₃ crystals with a nominal slight difference in the congruent composition, the diffusion constants and activation energies for Z-cut LiNbO₃ are 3.28×10^-5 cm²/s and 2.27 eV, and 1.39×10^-5 cm²/s and 2.24 eV, respectively. Titanium-doped waveguides are formed in Pr:LiNbO₃ and characterised in relation to waveguide loss and absorption in the visible and near infrared.

LiNbO3 with the damage-resistant impurity indium

We report on a detailed investigation (EPR, SHG, optical absorption, luminescence and Raman scattering) on the new damage-resistant impurity indium in LiNbO₃, where the increased photoconductivity strongly reduces the photorefractive effect. EPR and optical absorption measurements point to a complete disappearance of the Nb antisite in LiNbO₃: In for all In concentrations. We believe that the very effective driving out of Nb antisites by In is due to the trivalent charge state of In and the possibility of charge self-compensation. Similarities in the properties of Mg-, Zn- or Indoped samples are discussed. Simultaneous doping with In and Zn leads to an addition of both contributions, in particular for optical frequency doubling and luminescence. Raman studies prove that In does not improve the stoichiometry of the crystals. Indium doping provides the possibility to control simultaneously phase-matching conditions and to reduce drastically photorefraction. Therefore, In co-doped LiNbO₃ compositions are promising materials for applications after solving contemporary growth problems.     

Origin of the generally defined absorption edge of non-stoichiometric lithium niobate crystals

The ultraviolet absorption edges of LiNbO₃ crystals with different Li₂O contents and MgO doping concentrations were investigated. The generally defined absorption edges at absorption coefficient α=15 or 20 cm⁻¹ of all these crystals fit the Urbach rule perfectly. The origin of this absorption edges in non-stoichiometric LiNbO₃ crystals is attributed to the presence of Li vacancies.
