We fabricated a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) by direct laser-writing of a quasi-phase-matching (QPM) structure in photolithographic process. Because we do not need to prepare a photomask by electron-beam writing, the "maskless" process shortens the fabrication time and significantly reduces the cost. We evaluated the poling quality of the direct laser-written PPLN by measuring the diffraction noise from the surface relief pattern of the fabricated QPM grating and comparing the results to those from a conventional PPLN made with a photomask. The quality of the PPLN fabricated by direct laser-writing was shown to be equivalent to that fabricated by the conventional method.

We built an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) generating orthogonally polarized signals at different wavelengths simultaneously, based on a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystal. The OPO was pumped by ns-pulses at 1.064 ㎛ from a diode-pumped solid-state laser, where we found the type-0 and the type-1 quasi-phase matching conditions were satisfied simultaneously in the PPLN crystal. This enabled us to create a coherent light source which can emit dual signals which could be accessed easily by rotating a polarizer.

We investigated a high-output ower, periodically poled lithium niobate(PPLN) optical parametric oscillator(OPO) pumped by a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. Given the low optical damage threshold and the limited aperture (0.5mm thick) of PPLN, we tried to maximize the signal output power in a linear cavity consisting of two flat mirrors with a loosely focused pump beam. It is found that this simple cavity structure allowed a robust OPO operation, which was not sensitive to alignment compared with the conventional ones using concave mirrors. A maximum energy of 100$\mu$J/pulse was achieved for the signal at 1.36${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, while the oscillation threshold was 0.3 mJ/pulse for the pump at 1064 nm.

Lead titanate(PT) and lead magnesium niobate(PMN) ceramic powders were prepared by microwave hy-drothermal method using teflon bomb. Raw materials were Pb(NO3)2 and TiO2 for lead titanate and Pb(NO3)2 Nb2O5 and Mg(NO)3.6H2O for PMN with NaOH as mineralizer in both cases. in lead titanate synthsis rate of microwave hydrothermal method was faster three times than one f conventional hydrothermal methods In lead magnesium niobate synthsis the mixture of perovskite and pyrochlore phases was obtained by single step technique and the PMN was not obtained by double step technique due to low temperature limitation of teflon bomb.

The luminescence behaviors of Yttrium niobate and Bi doped Yttrium niobate were investigated under UV and low voltage electron excitations and interpreted with the first-principle calculations. In the UV excitation and emission spectra of $YNbO_4$ and $YNbO_4:Bi$, we were able to separate host contribution and Bi contribution and found that the shift in emission peak to longer wavelength is mainly due to Bi contribution. Using density functional theory, the cluster calculations were carried out for both $YNbO_4$ and $YNbO_4:Bi$. From the calculated density of states, we were also able to explain the charge transfer gap in the host and the effect of Bi in the excitation and emission spectra theoretically.

An analysis and numerical computations relating to the coupling of optical modes between two neighboring waveguides are discussed. The waveguides are fabricated with Lithium Niobate as guide 1 and Vanadium Oxide as guide 2. In a wave guide system that incorporates two lossless guides, a complete transfer of power from one guide to another can occur when the waveguides are (1) identical or (2) the modes in each guide have identical phase constants. Here we discuss the coupling effects when the guides are dissimilar with respect to both geometry and losses. In thers results, we show that power transfer can occur between the two guides, one lossy and the other lossless, provided the phase matched condition is satisfied. When properly coupled, the power attenuation varies according to the amount of coupling.

The photorefractive properties of 4% mol magnesium oxide doped lithium niobate have been investigated at room temperature. The recording and erasing time constants were measured as a function of intensity and analyzed by using the two active species (electron-hole) model. The results were used to compute the exposure schedule for multiple hologram recording. We have recorded grating of five holograms by angular multiplexing at room temperature and fixed them by means of a thermal cycling procedure. The highest diffraction efficiency of a fixed grating is up to 50% of an unfixed one.

Homogeneous and crack-free potassium lithium niobate (K₃Li/sub 2-x/Nb/sub 5+x/O/sub 15/, 0＜x＜0.5, KLN) single crystals were successfully grown by the Czochralski technique. The KLN single crystals of several different compositions were employed for the investigation of the lattice vibration spectra using infrared Raman spectroscopy. The characteristic Raman spectra of the [NbO/sub 6/]/sup 7-/ octahedral ions were strikingly influenced by the Li ion content. The symmetric stretch vibrational modes V₁, V₂ are broadened, and the symmetric bend vibration mode V/sub 5/ is broadened and even split into three peaks with increasing the Li content, supporting that the bend vibration modes of the [NbO/sub 6/]/sup 7-/ octahedrons are obviously perturbed by Li ions in the C site. Enhanced Raman peak intensities after the post annealing at 900℃ and for 24 h evidenced that a residual stress in as-grown crystals was negligible and only a defect concentration might be reduced.
