Nonvolatile photorefractive properties in triply doped stoichiometric Mg：Fe：Mn：LiTa03 crystalsNonvolatile photorefractive properties in triply doped stoichiometric Mg：Fe：Mn：LiTa03 crystalsNonvolatile photorefractive properties in triply doped stoichiometric Mg：Fe：Mn：LiTa03 crystals

We have grown triply doped Mg：Fe：Mn：LiTaO3 crystals with near stoichiometry using the top seeded solution growth technique. The defect structure was investigated by infrared absorption spectra and Curie tempeI＇ature. Using a blue laser as the source, excellent photorefractive properties were obtained. Nonvolatile holographic storage properties were investigated using the dual wavelength technique. We got a very high fixed diffraction efficiency and nonvolatile holographic storage sensitivity. The blue light has more than enough energy to excite holes of deep （Mn） and shallow （Fe） trap centers with the same phase, which enhance dramatically the blue photorefractive properties and the nonvolatile holographic storage. Mg2＋ ion is no longer damage resistant at blue laser, but enhances photorefractive characteristics.     

Tm：Ho：YLF Amplifiers at 2.049 μm with a Tm：Ho：GdVO4 Oscillator

We report cw diode-pumped cryogenic Tm:Ho:YLF amplifiers at 2.049μm with a Tm:Ho:GdVO4 oscillator. Not only the single- and double-pass, but also the single- and double-end pump amplifiers with a 10-mm-length medium are compared. A measured maximum small-gain coetfficient of 1.3 cm^-1 is achieved for the double-pass and double-end pump amplifier. The maximum extracted power of 8.5 W, the gain of 3.2 and extracted etfficiency of 32% have been obtained with an input signal power of 3.9 W. The difference of the hosts in the oscillator and amplifier has little influence on the characteristic of the amplifier output. Additionally, the extracted etfficiency of the quasi-continuous-wave amplifier with a repetition rate of 10kHz is the same as the cw one.

Orientation-Enhanced Photorefractive Effect in PVK-PBA：DR1：TNF Polymer

We developed a novel photorefractive (PR) polymer PVK-PBA:DR1:TNF, and its film sample was prepared with outstanding performance by using the method of combination of vacuum saturated vapour resolving with vacuum hot-pressing. The sample exhibits distinctive PR properties with the two-beam coupling coefficient up to 140cm^-1 and four-wave mixing (FWM) diffraction efficiency above 1.5% in the absence of applied external electric field. The designed experiments, including measurements of the second-order nonlinear coefficient and birefringence as well as the relationship between the diffraction efficiencies of the FWM and the external bias field, were performed to understand the underlying mechanism, because this phenomenon cannot be explained by the conventional PR theories. It is presented that because of its high orientational mobility and large dipole moment, the polymer produces the photovoltaic effect under the irradiation of laser to induce a space-charge field so as to engender the PR effect under zero or low external fields. A model based on the assumption was established and the simulation agrees well with the experimental results.     

Light-induced acoustic effect in LiNbO3：Fe：Ce crystals

The phenomena of acoustic emission in LiNbO3：Fe：Ce crystals have been observed in the process of light-induced quasi-breakdown. It is found that the ultra-high frequency acoustic signal introduced into the crystal is modulated by the low frequency acoustic waves. Its frequency increases with the increase of the intensity of incident light and its jump period of breakdown is the same as that of the photovoltaic current Ic, the change of light-induced refractive index △n and the diffracted light intensity L. This phenomenon has been analysed in this paper, which is caused by the inverse piezoelectric strain effect of the jump of space charge field during the quasi-breakdown.

High-power diode-end-pumped Tm：YAP and Tm：YLF slab lasers

Diode-end-pumped continuous-wave(CW) Tm:YAP and Tm:YLF slab lasers are demonstrated. The a-cut Tm:YAP and Tm:YLF slabs with doping concentrations of 4 at.-% and 3.5 at.-%,respectively,are pumped by fast-axis collimated laser diodes at room temperature. The maximum CW output powers of 72 and 50.2 W are obtained from Tm:YAP and Tm:YLF,respectively,while the pump power is 220 W,corresponding to the slope efficiencies of 37.9% and 26.6%,respectively.
