Near-infrared properties of Rh-doped Bi12TiO20 crystals for photonic applications

Opt Lett. 2013 Feb 15;38(4):495-7. doi: 10.1364/OL.38.000495.

Abstract

The effect of Rh doping in Bi(12)TiO(20) (BTO) crystals on the photosensitivity and recording speed at 1064 nm is reported. Response time of 0.1 s is measured during real-time holographic recording without any preliminary treatments. Once the crystal is pre-excited with a green light, the detected response time becomes 0.02 s. A possibility to implement BTO:Rh crystal plate with liquid crystals into a hybrid organic/inorganic device is demonstrated, which opens perspectives for further near-infrared applications.
