Title: Laser and nonlinear optical materials; Proceedings of the Meeting, San Diego, CA, Aug. 19, 20, 1986

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5793326

Topics discussed include frequency conversion materials; damage resistance and crystal growth of KDP; the application of urea crystals to nonlinear optics; the properties and uses of BaB/sub 2/O/sub 4/; and direct assessment of the phase matching properties of new nonlinear materials. Papers are presented on the growth of laser crystals and solid state lasers; the growth and characterization of Nd,Cr:GSGG laser crystals and Ti:Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ crystals; oxide host crystals for unstable lasers; the use of the heat exchanger method to grow laser crystals; Faraday rotator materials for laser systems; and crystal growth, processing, and characterization of photorefractive BaTiO/sub 3/. Consideration is given to the application of synchrotron radiation to X-ray fluorescence analysis of trace elements; the electron-paramagnetic resonance spectra in Ti-doped sapphire; electrical transport properties in garnets; the photoelastic properties of optical materials; thermal variation of the refractive index in optical materials; and the mechanical properties of single crystal ceramics.
