Diffraction properties of transmission photorefractive volume gratings in a cerium-doped potassium sodium strontium barium niobate crystal

Abstract: The diffraction efficiency of volume gratings written by two-wave mixing in a cerium-doped potassium sodium strontium barium niobate (Ce:KNSBN) photorefractive crystal is studied. It is found that the diffraction efficiency strongly depends on the polarization of writing beams and exhibits loop behavior with respect to the fringe modulation. The fringe modulations before and behind the crystal are compared. Modified coupled-wave theory is used to fit the experimental data. This research presents data that are … Show more

“…As high gain photorefractive materials, doped KNSBN crystals had strong beam fanning effect and their two-wave coupling processes were more complicated. Thoroughly understanding the two-wave coupling process in doped KNSBN crystals has significant importance in applications such as volume holographic storage, optical information process and optical switch [6][7][8][9] . Among the experimental studies of doped KNSBN crystals, most of the reports focused on the steady two-wave coupling properties, while the reports of the dynamic properties were mainly theoretical simulation [10][11][12][13] .…”

“…It is worth noting that this energy exchange is not the typical energy transfer observed in beam fanning or two-beam coupling in the photorefractive crystal. 20,21) In the latter case, energy transfer occurs under the phase-matched condition, i.e., energy only transfers opposite to the c-axis direction of the SBN crystal. In our experiments, energy transfer through soliton collision happens both in/opposite c-axis directions.…”
