Download or read book Photorefractive Materials and Their Applications II written by Peter Günter and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-06-27 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second of two volumes that review, for the first time, all major aspects of photorefractive effects and their applications. Photorefractive effects in electro-optic crystals are based on optically induced space-charge fields which ultimately alter the refractive indices by the electro-optic Pockels effect. The fundamental phenomena leading to photoinduced changes of refractive index, the materials requirements and experimental results on a variety of photorefractive materials are discussed and the most recent theoretical models describing these phenomena are presented. Interest in photorefractive materials has increased in recent years mainly because of their potential for nonlinear optical devices and for optical signals processing applications. Most of these applications are reviewed in this volume. The contributions to the two volumes are written by experts on each topic and are intended for scientists and engineers active in the field and for researchers and graduate students entering the field. Over 300 references to original papers on photorefractive and associated phenomena are cited. Volume 1 appeared as Volume 61 of Topics in Applied Physics.

Download or read book Optical Phase Conjugation with Photorefractive Sn2P2S6 written by Serguey Odoulov and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report results from a contract tasking Dynamic Holography Group, Institute of Physics. National Academy of Sciences as follows: The contractor will investigate getting the largest possible phase conjugate reflectivity in Sn2P2S6 by optimizing the usual parameters (such as pump intensity ratio, signal to pump intensity ratio, angle of incidence for pump and probe waves, polarization of interacting waves, orientation of waves with respect to sample principle axes) and frequency shift, a new parameter of special importance of Sn2P2S6. To achieve this the contractor shall perform the following: (1) The backward wave from four wave mixing will be used to generate the phase conjugate waves. Optimum conditions will be found to accomplish this. (2) Study different self-phase conjugate mirrors based on various coherent optical oscillators Optimize the performance of a double phase conjugating mirror. The study shows that SPS crystal can be efficiently used for conjugation of coherent light beams both in traditional backward-wave four-wave mixing geometry and in self-pumped coherent oscillator geometries. The samples belonging to Type I are suitable for conjugation both in the red (He-Ne laser light) and in near infrared (Nd(3+):YAG, 1.06 microns) while samples of Type II can be used for red and shorter infrared (0.8 ... 0.9 microns) region of spectrum. The phase conjugate intensity twice as large as the signal intensity was easily achieved in the red, at lambda = 0.63 microns. It is inevitable that with the same sample and the same refractive index modulation the phase conjugate reflectivity in infrared diminishes as lambda per 2 with the increasing lambda. This decrease can be compensated for by increasing the thickness of the samples used, what is essentially technological and not physical problem. With the available samples we got 17% phase conjugate reflectivity for Nd(3+):YAG, 1.06 microns radiation.

Download or read book The Physics and Applications of Photorefractive Materials written by L. Solymar and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 1996-08-15 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photorefractive materials combine photoconductive and electro-optic properties: light affects their electrical conductivity; their optical properties (refractive index, etc.) are affected by applied electric fields. The aim of this book is to cover the vast range of phenomena occurring in Photorefractive Materials. For Physicists it is part of the fashionable subject of Nonlinear Optics. Engineers tend to place it as part of optoelectronics promising a variety of new devices. This book summarizes the results of 28 years of research in a manner that would appeal both to the beginner (a graduate student who has just entered the field) and to the expert (who might have done research on some aspect of the subject for a decade or more). It is in three parts. Part I serves as an introduction with emphasis on physical principles and simple mathematical models. Part II is a comprehensive account of all the major advances. Its main merit is the organization of the material accompanied by a detailed list of references. Part III is concerned with the enormous range of potential applications.

In addition, a series of applications of photorefractive nonlinear optics and of optical data storage are presented in several chapters.

Download or read book Coherent Laser Beam Combining written by Arnaud Brignon and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laser beam combining techniques allow increasing the power of lasers far beyond what it is possible to obtain from a single conventional laser.One step further, coherent beam combining (CBC) also helps to maintain the very unique properties of the laser emission with respect to its spectral and spatial properties. Such lasers are of major interest for many applications, including industrial, environmental, defense, and scientific applications. Recently, significant progress has beenmade in coherent beam combining lasers, with a total output power of 100 kW already achieved. Scaling analysis indicates that further increase of output power with excellent beam quality is feasible by using existing state-of-the-art lasers. Thus, the knowledge of coherent beam combining techniques will become crucial for the design of next-generation highpower lasers. The purpose of this book is to present the more recent concepts of coherent beam combining by world leader teams in the field.

This book was released on 2013-11-27 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The photorefractive effect is now firmly established as one of the highest-sensitivity nonlinear optical effects, making it an attractive choice for use in many optical holographic processing applications. As with all technologies based on advanced materials, the rate of progress in the development of photorefractive applications has been principally limited by the rate at which breakthroughs in materials science have supplied better photorefractive materials. The last ten years have seen an upsurge of interest in photorefractive applications because of several advances in the synthesis and growth of new and sensitive materials. This book is a collection of many of the most important recent developments in photorefractive effects and materials. The introductory chapter, which provides the necessary tools for understanding a wide variety of photorefractive phenomena, is followed by seven contributed chapters that offer views of the state-of-the-art in several different material systems. The second chapter represents the most detailed study to date on the growth and photorefractive performance of BaTi03, one of the most important photorefractive ferroelectrlcs. The third chapter describes the process of permanently fixing holographic gratings in ferroelectrics, important for volumetric data storage with ultra-high data densities. The fourth chapter describes the discovery and theory of photorefractive spatial solitons. Photorefractive polymers are an exciting new class of photo refractive materials, described in the fifth chapter. Polymers have many advantages, primarily related to fabrication, that could promise a breakthrough to the marketplace because of ease and low-cost of manufacturing.
