The crossflow piezo-electrooptic effect in crystals. Example of lithium tantalate
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present paper the thermodynamic and phenomenological descriptions of the crossflow piezo-electrooptic effect in crystals have been made. For example the necessary experimental measurements of this effect have been carried out in the lithium tantalate crystals. For these crystals at first the P33113−P11113 = −4.6·10 m/ N·V absolute coefficients difference of crossflow piezo-electrooptic effect were determined by two measurement methods.

Elements of Electromagnetic Theory, Anisotropic Media, and Light Modulation by the Linear Electro-Optic Effect
The purpose of this note is to introduce the linear electro-optic effect (Pockels effect) and its applications for modulating the properties of a light wave, such as its phase, polarisation and intensity. For this purpose, basic electromagnetic theory is first reviewed. Some elements of light propagation in an anisotropic medium are then introduced. The linear electro-optic effect is then prese...
متن کاملOptical birefringence imaging of x-ray excited lithium tantalate
X-ray absorption in lithium tantalate induces large, long-lived (∼10 5 s) optical birefringence, visualized via scanning optical polarimetry. Similar birefringence measured from glass, sapphire, and quartz was two orders of magnitude weaker; much of this reduction can be accounted for by their smaller cross section for x-ray absorption. While x-ray induced charges can perturb local refractive i...
متن کاملCrystallographic and optical study of LiNb1 − xTaxO3
Powders of lithium niobate-tantalate across the full compositional range have been made and crystals grown using a lithium vanadate flux growth technique. The Li-content of a lithium tantalate crystal has been determined using the zero-birefringence temperature and Curie measurements, confirming the Li content is between that of congruent and stoichiometric crystals. X-ray diffraction measureme...
متن کاملVapor-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 کاملQuasi-phase-matched second-harmonic generation of 532 nm radiation in 25 degrees -rotated, x-cut, near-stoichiometric, lithium tantalate fabricated by vapor transport equilibration.
Quasi-phase-matched second-harmonic generation of 532 nm radiation in 25 degrees -rotated, x-cut, near-stoichiometric lithium tantalate has been performed. Using a face-normal topology for frequency conversion applications allows scalable surface area to avoid surface and volume damage in high-power interactions. First-order, quasi-phase-matched second-harmonic generation was achieved using nea...
