Photorefractive effect in iron-doped lithium niobate crystals induced by femtosecond pulses of 1.5 {mu}m wavelength
- Institute of Physics, University of Bonn, Wegelerstrasse 8, D-53115 Bonn (Germany)
Illumination of iron-doped lithium crystals (LiNbO{sub 3}:Fe) with femtosecond pulses of 1.5 {mu}m wavelength results in large refractive index changes {delta}n in the order of 10{sup -3}. The sign of the refractive index changes depends on the polarization of the recording light. The results can be very useful for fabrication of tailored holographic components for telecommunication.
