Problems solved by technology

However, compared with magneto-optical crystals, the Verdet constant of magneto-optic glass is smaller, and the thermal stability and chemical stability of glass are also poorer than crystals, so it is not conducive to the miniaturization of magneto-optical devices and the application on high-power devices. application
Terbium gallium garnet (TGG) crystals have high transmittance in the visible-near-infrared region, but the growth technology of high-quality TGG crystals has not yet broken through. Although the crystals are molten compounds with the same composition, Ga 2 o 3 Severe decomposition and volatilization can easily lead to wrapping inside the crystal, resulting in a large extinction ratio of the grown crystal and low yield
In addition, the raw materials for TGG crystal synthesis are expensive, and the high cost also affects the prospect of its application.

Abstract

The invention discloses a cubic-phase fluorite type terbium and calcium niobate magneto-optical crystal applied in a visible-near infrared light area, and a preparation method thereof. The crystal is grown by adopting a flux czochralski method, the molecular formula of the crystal is Tb[3x]Ca[2-2x]Nb[2-2x]O7, wherein x is equal to 0-1, and the crystal belongs to a cubic crystal system, and the space group of the crystal is Fm-3m. The magneto-optical crystal has high transmittance in the visible infrared light area, is high in the content of magnetic rare earth ions, large in electron exchange action, and beneficial to achieving better magneto-optical property. In addition, the influence of crystalline double refraction on the magneto-optical effect can be effectively avoided through the isotropous characteristic of the cubic crystal system. In addition, the magneto-optical crystal is a congruent melt compound, can be grown by adopting medium-frequency induction czochralski method, the production technology is simple, and short in period, and the cubic-phase fluorite type terbium and calcium niobate magneto-optical crystal can be massively produced on large scale with low cost.
