Abstract Details

2017, Master of Science (M.S.), University of Dayton, Electro-Optics.
This thesis reports on an experiment to measure charge carrier contributions from different Fe species and their effects on beam coupling efficiency using self-pumped counter-propagating two-beam coupling in iron-doped potassium niobate KNbO3:Fe. We used multiple continuous wave lasers operating across the visual spectrum to explore charge carrier creation from various transitions. Photorefractive grating formation data was acquired and analyzed using a new theoretical model which incorporates multiple charge carrier species. Initial analysis provides supporting evidence of a multiple charge carrier model and presents new insights about the effects of various charge carriers on the photorefractive periodic space-charge fields.
