Device for inducing periodical domain reversal of ferroelectric crystal by laser interference

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for inducing the periodical domain reversal of a ferroelectric crystal by laser interference. A periodical structure is realized by using an interference method of two light beams, a polarization electric field is realized by using quartz windows and electrolyte electrodes, laser coherence irradiation is performed simultaneously, and thus, the laser-induced periodical domain reversal is realized. The device can be applied to the periodical domain reversal of the ferroelectric crystal with a fine structure in the micro scales of micron and submicron dimensions, finer and more complex all-optical microstructural devices can be manufactured, and the device can be widely applied to multiple key fields of quasi-phase-matching non-linear optics, novel optical devices and the like. The device is applicable to multi-wavelength induction light, can not be limited by an induction light source and the size of a mask, and can greatly reduce the polarization electric filed of the ferroelectric domain. The invention has more flexible manufacture, more perfect periodical structure, easy operation, accurate size, reliable principle and no damage.
