Abstract

The invention discloses a vanadium-doped lithium niobate crystal, which is grown by using a Czochralski crystal pulling method. The amount of the doped element vanadium is in the range of 0.1-5.0 mole percent. The crystal has superior photo-refraction performance under the condition of low doping amount; particularly the photo-refraction performance is greatly enhanced at the ultraviolet waveband of 351nm, for example, the response time is short, the diffraction efficiency is high, the optical coupling coefficient is high, and the like; the light absorption coefficient is low; the comprehensive performance is superior to that of other doped elements (such as Mg, Zn, In); in addition, since the doping amount is low, the growth of crystal with high optical quality is facilitated. The crystal has the photo-refraction resistance of over 104W / cm<2> after the doping amount reaches 2.0 mole percent; and the vanadium is doped for resisting photo-refraction. As a novel doping element for the lithium niobate crystal, the vanadium has superior photo-refraction performance and photo-refraction resistance performance, particularly prominent performance in the aspect of ultraviolet refraction; in addition, the doping amount is low, and the single crystal with high optical quality is easy to grow; and the crystal has broad application prospect.

【Technical Field】 [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optoelectronic materials, and particularly relates to a nonlinear optical crystal and its photorefractive application. 【Background technique】 [0002] Lithium niobate crystal is a multi-functional and versatile optoelectronic material. It has the advantages of stable mechanical properties, easy processing, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, rich source of raw materials, low price, and easy growth into large crystals. One of the crystals with the best comprehensive indicators for variable applications. [0003] At present, the enhancement of the photorefractive performance of lithium niobate is mainly focused on two aspects: 1. Growing a stoichiometric lithium niobate crystal with fewer intrinsic defects (Li / Nb ratio is close to 1), but this kind of crystal is not easy to obtain Crystals with large diameter and uniform composition, and complex growth technology. Two: Doping photorefractive ele...
