Nd∶ReCOB晶体的生长、各向异性和最佳相位匹配方向

Growth,Anisotropy and Optimal Phase Match of Nd∶ReCOB Crystals

Red,blue and green visible lasers are more attractive with the development of the science and technology.Self frequency doubling is an important approach to realize visible lasers.For self frequency doubling,the basic requests are high figure of merit(FOM),high damage threshold,good chemical stability and mechanical properties.Perfection and growth characters are also important for a practical SFD crystal. In recent years,the discovery of rare earth calcium oxyborates has resulted in the renewal in the field of SFD crystal.ReCaO(BO 3) 3(ReCOB)is a new type of novel nonlinear optical crystals which is nearly congruently melt and can be grown with Czochralski method.ReCOB crystals possess high nonlinear coefficients and damage thresholds.They are non hydroscopic and easy cutting and polishing.They belong to monoclinic with point group m and space group cm.The strong anisotropy originated from the low symmetry makes the measurement and application of the crystal more complicated.More than half of naturally existed crystals belongs to low symmetry,consequently,the research on the nonlinear and anisotropic laser optical properties are not only important for ReCOB crystal,but also useful for the applications of other low symmetry crystals.
