We demonstrated for what is the first time to our knowledge photorefractive two-wave mixing in a bulk ferroelectric crystal using cw light at the telecommunication wavelength 1.55 microm. In the Te-doped ferroelectric semiconductor Sn2P2S6 with absorption constant <0.1 cm(-1) at 1.55 microm, grating recording times of 10 ms and a two-beam coupling gain of 2.8 cm(-1) have been measured at 350 mW power (intensity 440 W/cm(2)) without a necessity to apply an external electric field. With a moving grating technique, a maximal gain of 6.0 cm(-1) has been obtained.
据我们所知,我们首次展示了在块状铁电晶体中利用波长为1.55微米的连续波光进行光折变二波混频。在掺碲的铁电半导体Sn2P2S6中,在1.55微米处的吸收常数<0.1 cm(-1),在350毫瓦功率(强度440 W/cm(2))下,无需施加外部电场,已测得光栅记录时间为10毫秒,两束光耦合增益为2.8 cm(-1)。使用移动光栅技术,已获得最大增益6.0 cm(-1)。
