Alleviation of photoinduced damage in GdxY1-xCa4O(BO3)3 at elevated crystal temperature for noncritically phase-matched 355-nm generation

We developed a Gd(x)Y(1-x)Ca(4)O(BO(3))(3) (GdYCOB) crystal for control of optical birefringence. GdYCOB crystals were successfully used to generate noncritical phase-matched (NCPM) second and third harmonics of 1064-nm lights. However, we observed degradation of third-harmonic-generation (THG) output power and distortion of the beam pattern as a result of photoinduced damage and thermal dephasing. The photoinduced damage was classified into two types. One was gray-track and the other was photorefractive damage. It seems that these types of damage were similar to the types of damage that occurred with KTiOPO(4) and LiNbO(3) crystals. We tried to circumvent this problem by crystal heating. Photoinduced damage of GdYCOB was overcome by elevation of the crystal temperature, and NCPM THG (355-nm) output power from heated GdYCOB increased to 9 mW (62.5 kHz).     

YAB晶体中Yb3+到Er3+的能量传递

1.55 μm波段是光通讯的一个重要波段,而且对人眼安全,有高的大气透过率,因此可以广泛应用于通讯和遥感测距等领域。由于Er³⁺离子对商品化的InGaAs激光二极管的抽运波长不能有效吸收,因此一般通过在基质中共掺杂Yb³⁺和Er³⁺离子来获得1.55 μm波段激光输出。采用助熔剂法生长了不同Yb³⁺和Er³⁺掺杂浓度的YAl₃(BO₃)₄(YAB)晶体。运用速率方程模型研究了晶体中Yb³⁺到Er³⁺能量传递过程,得到了根据Yb³⁺离子的荧光寿命计算能量传递系数的简单计算公式。计算了不同掺杂离子浓度的YAB晶体中的能量传递系数等相关参数。结果表明,在YAB晶体中,Yb³⁺到Er³⁺能量传递非常有效,YAB晶体可以作为一种能获得1.55 μm激光输出的良好介质材料。

根据三波耦合过程中的能量和动量守恒、晶体的塞耳迈耶尔色散方程,通过数值模拟计算了213nm作CLBO光学参变振荡抽运源时,分别得到了在Ⅰ类和Ⅱ类相位匹配时参量光调谐范围为237～289nm、807～2793nm和404～2800nm。获得了在Ⅰ类匹配时的单谐振或双谐振腔的CLBO光学参变振荡转换效率都大于同等条件下的BBO光学参变振荡,Ⅱ类匹配时,CLBO晶体的转换效率略小于BBO晶体,但是CLBO光学参变振荡转换效率的最大值较BBO光学参变振荡出现于更短的紫外波段。从理论上证明了CLBO晶体是优质的深紫外透光波段非线性光学晶体。     

6 MHz BAW resonators fabricated using new piezoelectric crystals PrCa4O(BO3)3 and NdCa4O(BO3)3

Thickness shear mode Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) resonators with frequency of 6 MHz, were fabricated using monoclinic piezoelectric crystals PrCa₄O(BO₃)₃ (PrCOB) and NdCa₄O(BO₃)₃ (NdCOB). Zero temperature coefficient of frequency (TCF) characteristics were achieved over the temperature range of –140 °C to 200 °C for (YXt)–1.5° cut PrCOB and (YXt)15° cut NdCOB, with the turnover temperature at 20 °C. The electromechanical coupling factor k₂₆ and the piezoelectric coefficient d₂₆ were determined to be 30.2% and 15.8 pC/N for PrCOB, 29.0% and 15.1 pC/N for NdCOB resonators, respectively. The temperature independent frequency behavior, large coupling factor, high piezoelectric coefficient, together with noticeable mechanical quality factors (Q > 2,500), make PrCOB and NdCOB crystals good candidates for sensing applications with expanded temperature usage range.

Study on the second-harmonic-generation of GdCa4O(BO3)3 crystals along various phase-matching directions

In this paper, the theoretical calculations of d_eff of GdCa₄O(BO₃)₃ (GdCOB) along various phase-matching (PM) directions are reported. It is shown that the maximum d_eff is out of the main planes and the d_eff in the range of (0<θ≤90, 90<φ≤180) are larger than that in the range of (0<θ≤90, 0≤φ≤90). The PM direction along (θ=66.8, φ=132.6) for GdCOB crystal has the largest d_eff. Second-harmonic-generation (SHG) experiments were performed on GdCOB crystal along various PM directions. The results show that in GdCOB crystal, the intracavity SHG conversion efficiency is 27.6% along the PM direction (θ=66.8, φ=132.6) which is larger than that along PM directions in XY and XZ main planes, which are in good agreement with the theoretical calculations. The continuous-wave (cw) green laser output power is 1.22 W when LD pump power is 10 W in the Nd:YVO₄/GdCOB laser.     

Theoretical Studies of Energy Spectra and g Factors of Cr3+-Doped YAl3(BO3)4

With the strong-field scheme and trigonal bases, by diagonalizing the complete d³ energy matrix in a trigonally distorted cubic-field, the energy spectra and wavefunctions of YAl₃(BO₃)₄:Cr³⁺ have been calculated. The rates of change of levels with respect to various parameters and the contributions to levels from various parameters are calculated, and the physical origins of various levels or splittings have been clearly and quantitatively shown. By using the wavefunctions obtained from diagonalizing the complete energy matrix, the g factors of the ground state of YAl₃(BO₃)₄:Cr³⁺ have been evaluated. The calculated results are in good agreement with the optical-spectral and EPR experimental data. It is demonstrated that the bonding between Cr³⁺ and ligands (O^2-) is ionic.     

Linear electro-optic properties of YCa4O(BO3)3

We have characterized the effective linear electro-optic coefficients of YCa4O(BO3)3 (YCOB) relative to KH2PO4 and KD2PO4 at 632.8 nm. We measured a maximum r(eff) value of 10.8 +/- 1.4 pm/V for YCOB in a transverse electric field configuration for propagation along the X or the alpha dielectric axis, with the electric field applied along the Z or the gamma dielectric axis. We also found effective coefficients of 10.7 +/- 1.0 and 3.4 +/- 0.4 pm/V for YCOB in longitudinal configurations. The remaining values of r(eff) for various transverse applied voltages were found to be less than 3 pm/V. The excellent thermomechanical properties of this crystal, coupled with moderate electro-optic coefficients, make YCOB and its isomorphs potential candidates for use as high-average-power electro-optic switches.     

Type-I non-critically phase-matched second-harmonic generation in Gd1-xYxCa4O(BO3)3

Second-harmonic generation was z-cut observed Gd_1-xY_xCa₄O(BO₃)₃ (Gd_1-xY_xCOB) and the dependence of the phase-matching wavelength on the mixing ratio x has been investigated. The dependence on both temperature and angle tuning was examined as well. We found the suitable composition for noncritical frequency doubling at 930 nm, which is the lasing wavelength of Nd:YAlO₃ on the ⁴F_3/2?⁴I_9/2 transition.

Nonlinear optical properties of LaCa(4)O(BO(3))(3)

We have grown LaCa(4)O (BO(3))(3) (LaCOB), an isostructural member of GdCa(4)O(BO(3))(3) (GdCOB) family and characterized its nonlinear optical properties. At 1064nm, d(eff) of 0.52+/-0.05 pm /V and an angular sensitivity of 1224+/-184(cm rad)(-1) for type I frequency doubling in LaCOB were determined relative to those of KTiOPO(4) , beta-BaB(2)O(4) , KD(2)PO(4) , LiB(3)O(5) , YCa(4)O(BO(3))(3) (YCOB), and GdCOB. The d(alphabetabeta) and d(gammabetabeta) coefficients of the nonlinear optical tensor for LaCOB, GdCOB, and YCOB were determined to be equivalent within the experimental uncertainty and have values of ?0.26+/-0.04?pm/V and ?1.69+/-0.17?pm /V , respectively. From phase-matching angle measurements at 1064 and 1047nm, we predict that LaCOB is noncritically phase matched at 1042+/-1.5 nm .

Crystal field and exchange interactions in the SmFe3(BO3)4 multiferroic

The optical spectra of oriented SmFe₃(BO₃)₄ single crystals are studied in the region of the f-f transitions in the Sm³⁺ ion by Fourier spectroscopy. The energies, the symmetry properties, and the exchange splittings of the Stark sublevels of the ground and 17 excited multiplets of the Sm³⁺ ion in a crystal field of symmetry D ₃ are determined from the measured temperature dependences of polarized-radiation absorption spectra. The parameters of the crystal field acting on samarium ions and the parameters of the exchange interaction between Sm³⁺ and Fe³⁺ ions are found. The anisotropy of the effective exchange interaction is shown to be substantially stronger than the magnetic anisotropy, due to a strong crystal-field-induced mixing of the ground and excited multiplets.

Specific heat of YFe3(BO3)4, Y0.5Gd0.5Fe3(BO3)4, and GdFe3(BO3)4

The specific heat was measured in the range 0.4–300 K in YFe₃(BO₃)₄, Y_0.5Gd_0.5Fe₃(BO₃)₄, and GdFe₃(BO₃)₄ single crystals. Sharp anomalies were found at temperatures of first-order structural, second-order antiferromagnetic, and first-order spin-reorientational transitions. A Néel temperature of about 37 K was found to be virtually independent of presence of rare-earth ions, indicating rather weak coupling of Gd and Fe subsystems. The contribution of the magnetic system to specific heat was separated through the scaling procedure allowing determination of the magnetic entropy of Fe and Gd subsystems. At the lowest temperatures, the specific heat in GdFe₃(BO₃)₄ exhibits a Schottky-type anomaly, which is due to Gd³⁺ eightfold degenerate ground-level splitting by the internal magnetic field of the Fe subsystem of about 7 T.
