Photorefractive Properties Of Cr-Doped Single Crystal Strontium Barium Niobate

Abstract

Cr-doped strontium barium niobate has shown significant reduction in the time of response compared to previously grown Ce-doped crystals, with room temperature response times as short as 0.2 sec. The experimental photorefractive two-beam coupling gain and response time of 1% and 1.6% Cr-doped SBN:60 and 1% Cr-doped SBN:75 will be presented and compared to results in Ce-doped SBN:60. The photorefractive effect in Cr-doped SBN:60 has also shown a strong temperature dependence, with gain increasing by a factor of two when the crystal was cooled from 40 to -20° C. Significant gain enhancement was also predicted and obtained by applying a DC electric field of up to 10 kV/cm.
