Recent Development of Nonlinear Optical Borate Crystals
Growth and Evaluation of Nonlinear Optical Crystals for Laser Applications: Lithium Borate, Barium Borate and Silver Gallium Selenide

Pages : 96
Book Description
This report summarizes a four year program on the development of high efficiency nonlinear optical materials. Major achievements were the development of effective top-seeded solution growth techniques for beta-barium borate (BBO) and lithium triborate (LBO). BBO crystals were also grown for the first time in the US by the direct melt growth technique, a metastable method that leads to significantly higher growth rates than the commercial solution-growth technique. High quality crystals were made available for optical property determinations and nonlinear optical device development at government and commercial laboratories. Additional accomplishments involved development of an optimum heat-treatment technology for eliminating optical scattering centers from as-grown crystals of silver gallium selenide. Cooperative programs were carried out with NRL to quantify the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic defects on residual absorption. It was discovered that silver gallium selenide and silver gallium sulfide crystals grown from silver-rich solutions are free of anomolous absorption in the 2 micron waveband which is currently the major problem limiting generation of high intensity, tunable 3-5 micron radiation by OPO methods using these materials. A new nonlinear optical material, (La, Gd)Sc3(BO3)4 has been identified for future study.

Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
Borate crystals are attractive for different technological applications because of their favorable physical and chemical properties like stability and high transparency, both high thermal and non-linear optical coefficients, making them ideal active media for highly efficient solid state lasers. In this Special Issue, different aspects of multifunctional borate crystals are discussed, including ortho- and oxyorthoborates and compounds with condensed anions, as well as their nonlinear optical and laser properties and piezoelectric characteristics. For this reason, complex investigations of the phase relationships in multi-component borate melts, the study of crystal growth conditions of novel high-temperature borates, and the development of the “crystallization conditions, composition, structure, and properties” concept will provide a scientific basis for growth technologies of high performance electronic and optical devices and components with a variety of industrial, medical and many other applications. In the meantime, these relationships can help to estimate the affinity of synthetic borate materials with their natural prototypes and structural analogues.

Book Description
Present day advanced technologies heavily rely on one particular class of matter, i.e. the crystals. It is the periodic nature of the atoms and the properties arising due to the periodicity in crystals that is exploited to meet various technological feats. The technological revolutions in the semiconductor, optics and communication industries are the examples. The anisotropy in the crystals gives them enhanced properties as required in the field of non-linear optics. The field of non-linear optics became practically a reality after the invention of lasers. The coherent and monochromatic optical beams in the visible and ultraviolet ranges are in high demand due to their application in the fields like material processing, semiconductor lithography, laser micromachining, laser spectroscopy, photochemical synthesis, inertial confinement fusion and other basic scientific studies. In this thesis, work on the growth and characterization of two technologically important non-linear optical crystals has been carried out after developing the necessary instrumentation and some novel techniques for synthesis and growth. Also, studies on the glassy nature of one of the crystals have been carried out. This thesis consists of seven chapters. The first chapter gives a brief introduction to the nonlinear optical phenomenon, crystal growth and glassy state. Instrumentation is the backbone of crystal research technology. Without precision growth equipments large size crystals cannot be grown and without precision characterization instrumentation no conclusion regarding the quality and usefulness of the grown material can be drawn. The work reported in Chapter 2 describes the instrumentation developed for the growth, processing and characterization of crystals grown by solution and melt growth techniques. In low temperature solution growth, crystal growth workstations have been developed using tanks (made of acrylic), heating elements, and stirring propellers. Cooling coils have been in.
