  • We have derived a nonlinear spatiotemporal differential equation for space-charge fields from Kukhtarev’s material equations in a moving coordinate system and obtained the spatial subharmonic instability boundaries by using linear stability analysis. It is also found that there is an analogy between the temporal subharmonic and the spatial subharmonc instabilities in the sense that the governing differential equations describing the instability boundaries are formally identical. The experiments for generating spatial subharmonic waves are performed in a photorefractive $Bi_{12}SiO_{20}$ crystal by using conventional moving grating technique. The threshold detunings are experimentally determined and the results are compared with the theory.

  • 최근에 광연결(optical interconnection)을 위한 목적으로 LiNbO$_3$(0.03 mol% Fe doped)결정에 광굴절(photorefractive) 도파로를 기록하는 방법이 소개되고$^{(1-2)}$ 있는데 제작 방법과 원리는 다음과 같다. 17mW 출력의 He-Ne 레이저광을 렌즈로 통과시켜 빔의 크기를 줄인 후 초점은 LiNbO$_3$크리스털에 입사하는 반대편 면에 맞추어 입사시킨다. 그림 1에서 +y방향으로 초점이 입사면을 통과할 때까지 크리스털을 이동시켜 도파로를 만든다. 이 때 이동하는 방법은 10ms 노광시킨 후 15$mu extrm{m}$씩 불연속적으로 움직여 나간다.

  • In this work, we report on the characterization of six low-$T_g$ poly[methyl-3-(9-carbazolyl) propylsiloxane] based photorefractive (PR) composites sensitized with poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) in different concentrations, ranging from 0.2 to 1 wt %. At 632.8 nm, photoconductivity, space charge field, refractive index modulation, and grating buildup time were measured versus external electric field. The photoconductivity was strongly dependent on the visible light absorption and mobility. The magnitude of space charge field was affected by the conductivity contrast $\sigma_{ph}/(\sigma_{ph}+\sigma_d)$. The refractive index modulation increased with the magnitude of space charge field and the PR grating buildup speed increased with the photoconductivity.

  • The temporal differential equation describing the build-up of the space-charge field in the presence of square and sinusoidal alternating field in photorefractive materials is solved analytically. We also measured the average two-wave mixing gain and the full temopral gain variations in a B$i_{12}$Si$O_{20}$ crystal with applied fields of up to 7 KV/cm amplitude and 1 KHz repetition rate. It has been found that the experimental measurements agree well with the theoretical results.

  • We verified through a noncritical phase-matched second-harmonic generation experiment that the periodically-poled $LiNbO_3$ (PPLN) had a large effective nonlinear optical coefficient, demonstrating that the QPM grating was uniform throughout the entire length of PPLN. The quasi-phase matching temperature was $193.4^{\circ}C$. The maximum SHG output power at the fundamental power of 2.0 W was found to be 18.0 mW; generated second-harmonic beam was found to have no photorefractive effect.
