Problems solved by technology

However, some of these materials mainly exist in natural forms, and are difficult to synthesize artificially. They are generally small in size and cannot meet the requirements of large-scale optical polarizing elements (such as calcite crystals and rutile crystals); some have narrow transmission ranges and use wavelength bands. Cannot reach the deep ultraviolet region (such as LiNbO 3 Crystal, YVO 4 crystal); some can be applied to the deep purple band, but the birefringence is too small (such as α-BaB 2 o 4 Crystal, MgF 2 crystal)

Abstract

The invention relates to an yttrium phosphate double-refraction crystal and a growing method and application thereof. The crystal has the chemical formula of YPO4, belongs to a tetragonal system, and has the space group of I4[1] / amd, the cell parameter a of 6.8947 angstroms, the cell parameter c of 6.0276 angstroms, the cell parameter V of 286.533 angstroms<3> and the cell parameter Z of 4. The crystal is used for infrared-deep ultraviolet wave bands, is a single-axis crystal, and has the transmission range of 150-3300 nm; the double-refraction difference delta n of n[e] and n[o] ranges from 0.18 to 0.22, and the large-size yttrium phosphate crystal grows through a high-temperature melt method (melt pulling method or melt top seed solution method) or a flux growth method. The yttrium phosphate crystal obtained through the method is large in size, short in growth cycle, wide in light transmission range, high in transmission rate, large in double-refraction coefficient, and easy to cut, polish, machine and store. The crystal is a wide-waveband double-refraction optical material and can be used for manufacturing an optical fiber isolator, an annular mirror, a beam displacer, a beam splitter, a Glan polarizer and other polarizing devices and has important application in the fields of optics and communication.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the growth method of optical device, particularly a kind of yttrium phosphate (chemical formula is YPO) that is used in infrared-deep ultraviolet band 4 ) birefringent crystals and their growth methods and applications. Background technique [0002] Birefringence is one of the important properties of light propagating in a non-homogeneous dielectric crystal. When a beam of light is projected onto a crystal interface, two refracted beams are generally produced, a phenomenon known as birefringence. Due to the anisotropy of the crystal material, the angle between the two refracted rays is related to the propagation direction and polarization state of the light wave. One of the two beams of light obeys the law of refraction is called o light (ordinary ray, ordinary light), and its refractive index is expressed by n o Indicates that another beam that does not follow the law of refraction is called e-ray (extraordinary ray...
