Growth and characterization of La3Ga5.5Ta0.5O14 crystal

La₃Ga_5.5Ta_0.5O₁₄ (LGT) crystal was grown by using the Czochralski method. The as‐grown crystal is transparent, free from inclusions and with no cracks. Specific heat, thermal expansion, dielectric constants, transmission spectrum and optical damage threshold of LGT have been measured, and the results show general properties of LGT are similar to that of La₃Ga₅SiO₁₄ (LGS) crystal. The experiment to research the Q‐switch properties of LGT has been performed and the results show LGT possesses smaller electrooptic coefficients than that of LGS and may not be an ideal material used as a Q‐switch.

Synthesis and properties of polysiloxane-based electrooptic materials

In this study, new functionalized polysiloxane material was synthesized. The polysiloxane-based electrooptic material with side-chain charge-transporting functionalities and nonlinear optical chromophores was investigated through a three-step synthetic route. Elementary analysis and NMR spectra indicate that the polymer has a high degree of substitution. Detailed physical properties showed that the polymer has a glass transition of around 91°C, and its photoconductivity and electrooptic coefficient increase with the increasing applied electric field. Photorefractivity of the system has been demonstrated through the asymmetric energy transfer in a two-beam coupling experiment. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

光纤热极化过程的实时测试研究

通过热极化可以使中心对称的熔石英光纤中产生二阶非线性效应和线性电光效应。为了解各热极化过程参量对热极化产生的线性电光效应的影响,利用全保偏光纤马赫一曾德尔干涉仪构造了一套光纤热极化的实时线性电光效应测试系统,并利用其进行了光纤热极化全过程的监控测试。在线测试了热极化过程的一些参量,例如极化电压、极化时间、以及极化温度等对热极化光纤中产生的线性电光效应的影响。实时测试研究表明,在光纤中施加尽可能高的极化电场将可能在光纤中产生较高的线性电光效应。对侧边抛磨光纤结构的热极化器件,考虑到器件的抗强电场击穿能力,可选用3．o～4．0kV左右的极化直流电压。当施加3．0kV左右的极化电压时,热极化优化时间约为16min,最佳热极化加热温度约为190℃。

Temperature dependence of linear electrooptic coefficients r 113 and r 333 in lithium niobate

A new method of determination of individual linear electrooptic coefficients is proposed. The technique is based on the dynamic polarimetric measurements and takes into consideration the temperature dependences of ordinary and extraordinary refractive indices. Results obtained for the electrooptic coefficients r₁₁₃ and r₃₃₃ in LiNbO₃ are presented. The coefficients are found to increase significantly within the considered temperature range 25-200°C. The temperature dependences of the intrinsic coefficients m₁₁₃ and m₃₃₃, defined in terms of the induced polarisation, are considered as well.     

Studies of errors in measurements of electrooptic coefficients in uniaxial crystals

The Jones calculus extended for optical waves that diverge and are modulated in electrooptic uniaxial crystals is applied to quadratic electrooptic coefficients. It is shown that in measurements of the coefficients the approach may be used to predict experimental errors that result from inaccuracies in the crystal cutting and alignment. The cases of static and sinusoidal modulating fields are considered.     

Liquid Crystals: A Bibliography for 1977

X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and x-ray photoemission measurements indicate that the metallic conductivity of iodine-doped polyacetylene results from the intercalation of iodine between close-packed planes of the parent phase to form a charge transfer complex. The polyacetylene chains donate charge to produce I₃ and a second iodine species with lower charge density, most likely I₅. The structure of this charge transfer complex can be viewed as a perturbation of the structure of the parent polymer, which has been derived from x-ray diffraction analysis and lattice energy calculations.
