Problems solved by technology

Although Kim et al. used the pulling method to grow the crystal, the experiment showed that the crystal has a large thermal anisotropy, so it is easy to generate large thermal stress during the growth process of the pulling method, which will cause the crystal to grow or It is easy to crack along a specific direction during processing. Jeong-Bae Kim et al. mentioned the cracking during the growth process in the paper (see literature: Materials Letters, 31(1997), 93-97), so the growth is biased by the pulling method. Strontium borate crystals are difficult to obtain high-quality crystals that meet the needs of device manufacturing

Abstract

The invention relates to a strontium metaborate birefringent crystal as well as a preparation method and an application. The crystal has the chemical formula of SrB2O4 and the molecular weight of 173.24, belongs to the orthorhombic crystal system, has the space group of Pbcn and cell parameters as follows: a is equal to 12.00(5) angstrom, b is equal to 4.33(7) angstrom, c is equal to 6.58(4) angstrom and Z is equal to 4. The crystal grows with a melt method, a flux method, a crucible descending method or a heat exchange method. The strontium metaborate birefringent crystal is a negative biaxial crystal with the permeating range of 170-3,300 nm and the birefringence between 0.10 and 0.35. The crystal can be applied to infrared-visible-ultraviolet-deep ultraviolet bands, can be used for producing polarizing beam splitter prisms such as Glan prisms and Wollaston prisms and optical components such as optoisolators and light beam displacers and has important applications in optics, laser photolithography and optical communication.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a kind of molecular formula for infrared-visible-deep ultraviolet-deep ultraviolet band is SrB 2 o 4 The preparation method and application of the strontium metaborate birefringent crystal belong to the technical field of crystal materials and the field of optical technology. Background technique [0002] With the continuous expansion of the breadth and depth of laser applications and the rapid development of optical communication technology, birefringent crystals have become an indispensable material for modulating the polarization state of light. At present, birefringent crystals are the key materials for making polarization beam-splitting prisms such as Glan prisms and Wollaston prisms, as well as optical communication components such as optical isolators, beam shifters, and circulators. Usually practical birefringent crystals require that they have as large a birefringence as possible in the working band. [0003...
