C. Medrano et al., PHOTOREFRACTIVE EFFECT IN CU-DOPED AND NI-DOPED KNBO3 IN THE VISIBLE-INFRARED AND NEAR-INFRARED, Journal of applied physics, 76(10), 1994, pp. 5640-5645
Nickel- and copper-doped KNbO3 crystals were grown in order to investi
gate the photorefractive response in the visible and near infrared. Op
tical absorption, photoconductivity, and two-beam coupling experiments
between 515 and 1064 Mn are reported. A two-beam coupling constant at
860 nm of 1.4 and 3.2 cm(-1) was measured in the nickel- and copper-d
oped crystals, respectively.
