摘要
以三元同成分为基础配料,生长了掺杂浓度为6.5mol%、7.5mol%的掺镁铌酸锂晶体,并与传统的掺镁5.0mol%(Li/Nb=48.38/51.62)铌酸锂晶体作对比。光斑畸变法实验表明所生长的掺镁晶体的抗光损伤能力均达到5×105W/cm2,与掺镁5.0mol%同成分铌酸锂晶体相近。全息法测得晶体最大折射率变化分别为4.39×10-6、4.61×10-6,而掺镁5.0mol%晶体为5.62×10-6。晶体的红外光谱和紫外-可见吸收谱显示,所生长的掺镁6.5mol%、7.5mol%晶体均已超过掺杂阈值。综上可知,采用三元同成分配比是获得高质量晶体的有效途径。
According to the ternary congruent composition,Li Nb O3 crystals doped with Mg O(6. 5 mol%,7. 5 mol%) were grown,and then in order to compare,the congruent Mg-doped LN(5. 0 mol%) was also grown. The experiment results show that the optical damage resistance ability of the grown crystals reached 5 × 105 W/cm2,which is four orders of magnitude higher than that of congruent pure Li Nb O3 crystal,which is the same as that of Li Nb O3∶ Mg crystal(5. 0 mol%). The maximum refractive index change of the grown crystals is 4. 39 × 10-6,4. 61 × 10-6,respectively,which is lower than that of Li Nb O3∶ Mg(5. 0 mol%) crystal,which is 5. 62 × 10-6. The OH absorption spectra and UV-Vis absorption spectra shows that,the doping concentrations of Mg ions both in Mg(6. 5 mol%) ∶ LN,and Mg(7. 5 mol%) ∶ LN beyond the threshold. Therefore,it is the effective way to obtain the high quality crystal by using the ternary congruent method.
