人工晶体学报生长了掺入不同浓度六价钼元素的铌酸锂晶体(LN:Mo),并研究了它们在351nm、488nm、532nm和671nm处的光折变性能。实验结果表明0.5mol%为最佳掺杂量,此时LN:Mo在各波段具有最快的响应速度和较好的饱和衍射效率。增加极化电流可以提高光折变性能,尤其当极化电流为145mA时,掺杂量为0.5mol%的LN:Mo晶体紫外光折变响应时间缩短至0.35s。这些优异的全息存储性能归因于Mo“占据了正常的Nb位。LN:Mo晶体是实现全色全息存储的潜力材料。
Molybdenum doped lithium niobate crystals (LN: Mo) were grown under different polarization conditions and the photorefractive properties were investigated at 351 nm, 488 nm, 532 nm and 671 nm. The experimental results showed that 0.5mo1% is the best doping level as LN: Moo.5 always has the shortest response time and good saturation diffraction efficiency at each wavelength. Moreover, the photorefraction performances of LN: Mo0.5 crystals can be improved by enhancing the polarization current. Especially the response time of LN: Moo.5 could be shortened to as small as 0.35 s when polarized under the current of 145 mA. These features could be, attributed to Mo6+ occupying regular Nb sites. Molybdenum doped lithium niobate thus is a promising candidate for all-color holographic storage applications.
