An investigation of the chemical and physical properties of pristine, electrochromically damaged, and photochromically damaged KTiOPO{sub 4} (KTP) using surface analytical and optical spectroscopic techniques

Description: A variety of experimental techniques were employed to study the properties of electrochromically (EC) damaged, photochromically (PC) damaged, and pristine KTiOP0{sub 4} (KTP). Additionally, nonlinear optical calculations were performed to complement the experimental work in an effort to elucidate the respective mechanisms operative in producing EC and PC damage to KTP. Several independent experiments indicate that there is Ti deficiency in the EC damaged material, which is due to migration of t… more

An investigation of the chemical and physical properties of pristine, electrochromically damaged, and photochromically damaged KTiOPO{sub 4} (KTP) using surface analytical and optical spectroscopic techniques

Description: Single-crystal KTiOPO{sub 4} (KTP) is widely used as a nonlinear optical material in optics and lasers, but it can suffer irreversible damage from intense electric and electromagnetic fields; impurities, defects, vacancies, and electron/hole transfers are probably involved. This report shows results of surface and near-surface (bulk) studies using SIMS, Rutherford backscattering, PIXE, channeling, and XRF. The electrochromic damage may occur upon reduction of Ti{sup 4+} to Ti{sup 3+} by trappin… more
