This invention relates to a compound
sodium vanadium selenite and a
sodium vanadium selenite optical
crystal, as well as their preparation methods and uses. The compound has the
chemical formula NaVSeO5 and a molecular weight of 232.89, and is prepared using a vacuum encapsulation method. The
crystal has the
chemical formula NaVSeO5 and a molecular weight of 232.89. The
crystal belongs to the
monoclinic crystal system and has a
space group of [
space group missing]. C 2 / c The unit
cell parameters are a =18.234(3)Å, b= 3.8381(6)Å, c= 12.416(2)Å, α =90°, β =112.421(7)°, γ = 0.5 90°, V=803.2(2)Å 3 Z=8. The crystal is grown using the sealed
molten salt method, the high-temperature melt method, or the
vacuum tube sealing method. At a
wavelength of 1064 nm, the crystal has a
birefringence Δn=0.12, good
chemical stability, moderate mechanical
hardness, and is easy to
cut, polish, process, and store. It is insoluble in water and does not deliquesce, making it suitable for fabricating
optical communication components or various polarizing prisms, phase
delay devices, and electro-optic modulation devices, such as Glan prisms, polarization
beam splitters, compensators, optical isolators, circulators, and optical modulators. It plays an important role in the fields of
optics and communications.
