Abstract
We demonstrate the advantages of using high levels of rhodium (2000-3200 pp m) to dope barium titanate for achieving finite absorption coefficients (0. 36 cm(-1)), high two-beam coupling gain (11.5 cm(-1)), and acceptable respo nse time (7 s) at 1.06 mu m. We also report on the mass spectroscopy measur ements on Rh:BaTiO3 samples indicating a small segregation coefficient for rhodium (below 0.01) and the presence of a relatively large concentration ( 6000 ppm) of unintentionally added strontium.
