A NEW AND STABLE NONLINEAR OPTICAL MATERIAL

The nonlinear coefficient d31 of K.6Li.4NbO3 is equal to d31 of LiNbO3. Also, the serious problem of optically induced refractive-index inhomogeneities which has been observed in many nonlinear materials, notably LiNbO3, is not observed in this new material. The electro-optic half-wave voltage of th...

Description
Summary:The nonlinear coefficient d31 of K.6Li.4NbO3 is equal to d31 of LiNbO3. Also, the serious problem of optically induced refractive-index inhomogeneities which has been observed in many nonlinear materials, notably LiNbO3, is not observed in this new material. The electro-optic half-wave voltage of this new material is 930 V.
