An efficient room temperature all-solid-state laser system continuously tunable in the 0.2-10 .tm spectral range has been developed. It is based on the alexandrite laser pumped LiF:Fj' color center laser system. The alexandrite -LiF:F24** color center laser combination system has been shown to be a suitable drive source for a number of efficient nonlinear processes, including harmonic, sum-frequency and difference-frequency generation.
Highly efficient diffractive grating based on doped photorefractive crystal Bi12TiO20have been applied for measurement of displacement after mechanic and temperature loading without application of external electric field. The diffraction efficiency of the doped crystal is discovered in non-optimized optical set up I 00 times as much as that of the undoped crystals. Practically unlimited number of grating cycles of write, erase and read have been performed without optical damage and external electric or temperature fields.High adaptivity of this grating to external influence fields allows creation of a new optical developments of small size diffractive dynamic elements -DDE in contemporary optical engineering.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
