Tungsten Bronze Family Crystals For Optical Device Applications

Abstract

Ferroelectric tetragonal tungsten bronze crystals, e.g., SBN:60, SBN:50, BSKNN, KLN and SKN have been grown and are shown to possess large electro-optic r33 coefficients. Striation-free SBN:60 single crystals show a strong enchancement in photorefractive characteristics, indicating a major interest for photorefractive and spatial light modulator device applications.© (1984) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
