چکیده
Lithium tantalate crystal is widely used in optical devices, infrared detectors and surface acoustic wave devices because of its excellent piezoelectric, acousto-optic nonlinear properties. The Li content near stoichiometric lithium (NSLT) higher than that congruent (CLT) crystal. Therefore, the performance NSLT better CLT some aspects. This article reviews physical properties, preparation methods current research status acoustics optics crystals. It also looks forward to improvement their applications (SAW) filters optics. With increase content, crystals expected be comprehensively improved, achieving application SAW 5G communication.

Vapor-transport equilibrated near-stoichiometric lithium tantalate for frequency-conversion applications.
Near-stoichiometric lithium tantalate (SLT) crystals were produced from congruent lithium tantalate by a vapor-transport equilibration process. Because of the resultant increase in photoconductivity and reduction in photogalvanism, the crystals showed no observable photorefractive damage at 514.5 nm up to the highest intensity used, 2 MW/cm2. The crystals also exhibited low green-induced infrar...
متن کاملEfficient periodically poled stoichiometric lithium tantalate optical parametric oscillator for the visible to near-infrared region.
A compact, efficient optical parametric oscillator (OPO) for the visible to near-infrared region based on periodically poled stoichiometric lithium tantalate pumped by a frequency-doubled multikilohertz Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is demonstrated. Up to 61% photon conversion with a 71% slope efficiency for photon conversion from 532 nm to the signal radiation was measured. We observed that the effi...
متن کاملGeneration of Visible Radiation in Periodically Poled, Nearly-Stoichiometric Lithium Tantalate
Stoichiometric lithium tantalate (SLT) has been identified as a promising alternative to congruent lithium niobate as substrate material for quasi-phasematched (QPM) nonlinear optical frequency conversion. The advantages of SLT include superior resistance to optical damage, greater ultraviolet transparency, and a lower coercive field which should facilitate the fabrication of thicker periodical...
متن کامل1.34-μm Nd:YVO4 laser mode-locked by SHG-lens formation in periodically-poled stoichiometric lithium tantalate.
Self-starting, steady-state χ((2))-lens mode-locking of a 1.34-μm diode-pumped Nd:YVO(4) laser using intracavity second harmonic generation in PPMgSLT is demonstrated. Pulses as short as 3.6 ps with an average output power of ~1 W are obtained at a repetition rate of 120 MHz.
متن کاملHigh-power picosecond Nd:GdVO4 laser mode locked by SHG in periodically poled stoichiometric lithium tantalate.
Periodically poled stoichiometric lithium-tantalate is used for mode locking of a diode-pumped Nd:GdVO(4) laser by intracavity second-harmonic generation. Stable and self-starting operation is observed achieving average output powers of up to 5 W at a pulse-repetition rate of 107 MHz. The obtained pulse durations range from 6.5 ps at maximum output power down to 3.2 ps at 1.4 W.
