项目摘要

1.Crystal growth and sample preparation(a)We have grown relaxor ferroelectric crystals, 0.91Pb(Zn_<1/3>Nb_<2/3>)O_3-0.09PbTiO_3. (b)The crystals are cut, polished, and poled. The photorefractive effect is observed in Pb based relaxor ferroelectric crystals at the first time. (c)Same crystals, doped with Fe, Mn, and Rh were grown with various concentrations, and their photorefractive properties were evaluated. (d)Light scattering in these crystals were dramatically reduced by [110]. It is also our original finding in this project.2.Evaluation of the photorefractive properties(a)Electro-optic coefficient was measured as 200 pm/V for all the samples. (b)Photorefractive response speed and the two-wave mixing gain were measured for undoped and doped crystals. The maximum two-wave mixing gain was 20cm^<-1>, which was one of the largest value in the bulk ferroelectric crystals. (c)Through the ICP measurement of undoped crystals, no impurities are detected. Some defect levels supposed to acting as photorefractive centers from this result. (d)From the direction of the energy transfer in two-wave mixing and the sign of the electro-optic coefficient, the main carrier was determined to be the holes. (e)Photorefractive effects were enhanced by Fe and Rh doping. Two beam coupling gain was doubled. (f)Photochromisms were observed in Fe doped and Rh doped crystals. This suggest that the feasibility of the non-volatile holographic recording with two color writing method. (g)Photorefractive effects were enhanced in the wavelength range larger than 600 nm in Rh doped crystals. (h)The bulk photovoltaic effect are detected and the enhancement of the diffraction efficiency was observed when the crystal was electrically closed.

1.晶体生长和样品制备(a)我们生长了弛豫铁电晶体0.91Pb(Zn_<1/3>Nb_<2/3>)O_3-0.09PbTiO_3。 (b)晶体被切割、抛光和极化。首次在Pb基弛豫铁电晶体中观察到光折变效应。 (c) 生长不同浓度的 Fe、Mn 和 Rh 掺杂的相同晶体，并评估它们的光折变特性。 (d)[110]极大地减少了这些晶体中的光散射。这也是我们在本项目中的原创发现。2.光折变性能的评价(a)所有样品的电光系数测得均为200 pm/V。 (b)测量了未掺杂和掺杂晶体的光折变响应速度和两波混频增益。最大二波混频增益为20cm^-1，是块体铁电晶体中最大的值之一。 (c)通过未掺杂晶体的ICP测量，没有检测到杂质。从这个结果来看，一些缺陷水平应该充当光折变中心。 (d)从两波混频的能量传递方向和电光系数的符号判断，主要载流子是空穴。 (e)Fe 和 Rh 掺杂增强了光折变效应。两束耦合增益加倍。 (f)在 Fe 掺杂和 Rh 掺杂晶体中观察到光致变色。这表明采用两种颜色写入方法进行非易失性全息记录的可行性。 (g)Rh 掺杂晶体的光折变效应在大于 600 nm 的波长范围内增强。 (h)当晶体电闭合时，检测到体光伏效应并观察到衍射效率的增强。
