Barium titanate (BaTiO3) is a synthetic crystal used in electromechanical transducers and
multilayer ceramic capacitors. Since it is not available in nature, a variety of growth methods …

This paper introduces and discusses the main aspects of ultrashort laser pulse filamentation
in various transparent media such as air (gases), transparent solids and liquids. The …

The combination of integrated optics technologies with nonlinear photonics, which has led to
the growth of nonlinear integrated photonics, has also opened the way to groundbreaking …

An overview of optical nonlinearities of small bound polarons is given, which can occur in
the congruently melting composition of LiNbO 3. Such polarons decisively influence the …

Open-aperture Z-scan measurements have been carried out to investigate the three-photon
(3? PA) and four-photon absorption (4? PA) coefficients at 800? nm and 1030? nm …

Nanocolloids comprising harvested ferroelectric LiNbO3 nanoparticles (≈ 25 nm) and
ferroelectric liquid crystals were prepared and investigated. The impact of the amount of …

The two-photon absorption (TPA) coefficient is obtained for pure lithium tantalate (LT)
crystals as a function of C Li= 100%× Li 2 O/(Li 2 O+ Ta 2 O 5) ratio. Five LT samples with C …

Transient light-induced absorption in LiNbO 3 is observed in the blue-green spectral range
after pulsed illumination with 532 nm. Its buildup and decay in Fe-doped LiNbO 3 is …

Photorefractive materials exhibit an interesting plasticity under the influence of an optical
field. By extending the finite-difference time-domain method to include the photorefractive …

The propagation of high-power femtosecond light pulses in lithium niobate crystals (Li Nb O
3) is investigated experimentally and theoretically in collinear pump-probe transmission …
