Development of a new photorefractive and photovoltaic potassium niobate crystal

ORAL

Abstract

Photovoltaic measurements have been made on a new doped potassium niobate crystal that yields significantly larger photovoltaic fields than other doped potassium niobate crystals. Contra-directional two-beam coupling efficiencies and Raman spectroscopy measurements have also been conducted, which show major differences with respect to the published results for other doped potassium niobate materials.
