用湿化学法合成了25KTiOPO₄-75SiO₂透明纳米玻璃陶瓷。采用X射线衍射、场发射扫描电子显微镜和二次谐波发生对玻璃陶瓷物相及纳米结构进行了分析。透明凝胶块经过热处理后,从SiO₂基玻璃中析出了粒径为~30 nm的KTiOPO₄纳米晶体,形成了透明KTiOPO₄@SiO₂纳米玻璃陶瓷;凝胶粒子的烧结致密化消除了大量不规则介孔,但形成了少量30 nm的球状孔;这种相对致密的玻璃陶瓷在可见光波段的光学透射率为64%左右。根据纳米结构数据,利用瑞利散射模型分析了纳米结构对玻璃陶瓷透明性的影响,结果表明,KTiOPO₄晶体与SiO₂玻璃相折射率之差是降低致密纳米玻璃陶瓷透明性的主要因素。     

Diode-pumped cw and Q-switched Nd:GdVO4 laser operating at 1.34 μm

A diode-pumped 1.34 m Nd:GdVO₄ laser operating in cw and active Q-switching modes has been demonstrated. 4.15 W of cw output power was obtained at the highest attainable pump power of 12.3 W, resulting in an optical conversion efficiency of 33.7%, the slope efficiency was determined to be 37.6%. In Q-switching operation, a maximum average output power of 2.7 W was generated at pulse repetition frequency (PRF) of 50 kHz, with an optical conversion efficiency of 22% and a slope efficiency of 29.2%. The laser pulses with shortest duration, highest energy and peak power were achieved at PRF of 10 kHz, the parameters being 15 ns, 160 J, and 10.7 kW, respectively. By intracavity frequency-doubling with a type II phased-matched KTP crystal, 0.62 W average power at 0.67 m was produced at a PRF of 15 kHz, the resulting pulse energy, peak power, and pulse width being 41.3 J, 2.2 kW, and 19 ns, respectively. A group of analytical formulae, based on rate equations, are presented to evaluate the operational parameters of an actively Q-switched laser. Calculated results were found to be in close consistency with the experimental data.     

Efficiency of second harmonic generation for partially coherent light in anisotropic crystals

This paper analyzes the second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency of light with partial temporal coherence due to depolarization effects in birefringent media. It discusses relations between SHG efficiency fading, light source spectrum, crystal birefringence, and phase matching conditions. The efficiency of SHG pumped by the partially coherent light beam that may depolarize light in nonlinear birefringent crystal is also analyzed. The basic theory of SHG with its modification for partially coherent light with depolarization and some numerical calculations of the SHG process are described.

Second-order optical nonlinearity in bulk PbO/B2O3 glass

By investigating the second-harmonic generation (SHG) of the bulk PbO/B₂O₃ glass samples with different compositions after thermal poling, it was found that there was an optimal poling temperature for each sample with different compositions and there was also a relation between optimal poling temperature and glass transition temperature. At their own optimal poling temperatures, the samples had different frequency doubling efficiencies with the same applied voltage. We also found that the frequency doubling efficiency of PbO/B₂O₃ glass increased with the increase of poling voltage. An induced dipole model was proposed to explain the super-quadratic relation between the SHG intensity and the poling voltage.

Synthesis and characterization of azo–bisbenzylidene‐based polymers for second order nonlinear optics

Main chain polymers containing azo and bisbenzylidene moiety were synthesized by polycondensation method. The successful polymerization reaction was characterized by UV–vis absorption, FT‐IR and NMR spectroscopy. The resulting polymers were soluble in polar solvents like dimethyl formamide (DMF) and showed good thermal stability up to 250 °C. These polymers were blended with poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) and corona poled for characterizing second harmonic generation (SHG) property. Temperature stability study of SHG intensity of poled polymer showed that it is stable up to 80 °C. To improve temperature stability further the crosslinking of polymer under UV light is proposed. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2013, 51, 4317–4324     

Theoretical study on the static and dynamic first-order hyperpolarisabilities of adenine tautomers

Static and dynamic electronic and vibrational first-order hyperpolarisabilities (β) of the lowest energy neutral adenine tautomers (amine forms A7 and A9) were obtained in gaseous and aqueous phases by using Hartree–Fock, Møller–Plesset second-order and fourth-order perturbation theory (MP2 and MP4-SDQ) and conventional and long-range corrected density functional theory methods with the Dunning's correlation-consistent cc-pVDZ, aug-cc-pVDZ, aug-cc-pVTZ and d-aug-cc-pVDZ basis sets. Frequency-dependent properties were calculated at the characteristic wavelength of the Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm) for the second harmonic generation and electro-optical Pockels effect nonlinear optical processes. Solvent effects were introduced under the polarised continuum model approximation. The electronic β^e values of the investigated isomers are noticeably affected by the theoretical level, basis set and solvation. In vacuum, the static and dynamic β^e values of A9 are greater than the corresponding data of A7, whereas the contribution of the solvent significantly enhances the hyperpolarisabilities of the A7 tautomer, resulting in β^e(A9)/β^e(A7) ratios between 0.5 and 0.6. The vibrational hyperpolarisabilities of the adenine tautomers are quite close to each other.
