High-Quality Organic Single Crystalline Thin Films for Nonlinear Optical Applications by Vapor Growth

AbstractFerroelectrics are known to be excellent materials for nonlinear optics. Miniaturization of circuits using these materials requires an optimization of structural and morphological properties of thin films, to minimize optical losses. The first condition is the use of epitaxially grown thin films. The second one is the optimization of the morphological properties, in particular the roughness at the air/film and film/substrate interfaces must be the lowest possible.The aim of this work is to study the effect of the deposition atmosphere on these properties for PLT thin films grown on (0001) A12O3 and (001) SrTiO3.

The organic salt 4-N, N-dimethylamino-4′-N′-methyl stilbazolium tosylate (DAST) is a nonlinear optical crystal with superior properties for integrated electro-optical applications and THz-devices. High quality DAST single crystals have been grown by the solution growth method. The electro-optical properties were determined in the spectral range between 700 and 1535 nm (r111=47±8 pm / V at λ=1535 nm ). Several planar structuring techniques for integrated optics applications based on DAST have been investigated. The production of single crystal thin films with minimal thicknesses of 10 μm is presented as well as the channel waveguide structuring of DAST surfaces by photobleaching techniques in the depth range of 0.2 up to 2.6 μm and by femtosecond laser ablation.
