Temperature-dependent Sellmeier equation for the index of refraction, n(e), in congruent lithium niobate.
نویسنده
چکیده
A Sellmeier equation for the extraordinary index of congruent lithium niobate is derived. The source data for the fit contain previously published data [Opt.Commun.17, 322 (1996); erratum 20, 188 (1997); J.Appl.Phys. 45, 3688 (1974)] and new measured tuning data for an optical parametric oscillator using periodically poled lithium niobate. Phase-matching predictions are accurate for temperatures between room temperature and 250 degrees C and wavelengths ranging from 0.4 to 5 mum .

Measurement of the extraordinary refractive index dispersion in the MIR for Mg:Nd:LiNbO3 crystals by the use of quasi-phase-matching in a random 1D domain structure
We present a method of measurement of the extraordinary refractive index dispersion in MIR for periodically and aperiodically poled nonlinear crystals with unknown or uncertain periods. The method is based on the spontaneous parametric down-conversion and is useful for the crystals with domain structure formed directly in the process of growth by Czochralski technique. As an example we measure ...
متن کاملTemperature dependent refractive index and absorption coefficient of congruent lithium niobate crystals in the terahertz range.
Optical rectification with tilted pulse fronts in lithium niobate crystals is one of the most promising methods to generate terahertz (THz) radiation. In order to achieve higher optical-to-THz energy efficiency, it is necessary to cryogenically cool the crystal not only to decrease the linear phonon absorption for the generated THz wave but also to lengthen the effective interaction length betw...

The transient interaction between a refraction index grating and light beams during simultaneous writing and thermal fixing of a photorefractive hologram is investigated. With a diffusionand photovoltaic-dominated carrier transport mechanism and carrier thermal activation (temperature dependent) considered in Fe:LiNbO3 crystal, from the standpoint of field-material coupling, the theoretical the...
متن کاملTemperature and wavelength dependent refractive index equations for MgO-doped congruent and stoichiometric LiNbO3
We present wavelengthand temperature-dependent refractive index equations for 5% MgO-doped congruent PPLN and for 1% MgO-doped stoichiometric PPLN crystals valid for a wide spectral and temperature range. The dispersion equations were derived from quasi-phase-matched nonlinear interactions with these two crystal compositions in the near and midinfrared. The results show a good agreement with pr...
متن کاملTunable ultraviolet radiation by second-harmonic generation in periodically poled lithium tantalate.
We describe electric-field poling of fine-pitch ferroelectric domain gratings in lithium tantalate and characterization of nonlinear-optical properties by single-pass quasi-phase-matched second-harmonic generation (QPM SHG). With a 7.5-microm-period grating, the observed effective nonlinear coefficient for first-order QPM SHG of 532-nm radiation is 9 pm/V, whereas for a grating with a 2.625-mic...
