Abstract
The preparation procedure, the transmissivity, and the two-wave coupli ng properties of copper-modified potassium sodium strontium barium nio bate (KNSBN) crystals are reported. The Cu ions doped in KNSBN can for m two deep energy levels. This means that they are able to act as cent ers for free charge carrier stimulation and recombination. The two-wav e coupling gain coefficient of KNSBN: Cu is two times larger than that of KNSBN. The photofractive sensitivity of KNSBN: Cu is estimated to be in the order of 10(-3) cm(2)/J.
