Problem formulating. In the case of nonlinear-optical conversion of high-power laser radiation in nonlinear-optical crystals the optical absorption leads to a nonuniform heating of the crystals, which results in the violation of phase matching conditions, the formation of defects, and optical damage. Goal. Measurements of optical absorption coefficient of the periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystal at 3 μm radiation wavelength using the piezoelectric resonance laser calorimetry (PRLC). Result. The optical absorption coefficient of PPLN crystal at 3.045 μm radiation wavelength was measured using the piezoelectric resonance laser calorimetry. The value (1.15±0.15) 10⋅ -2cm-1 of absorption coefficient within the measurement error limits was independent of the initial temperature of PPLN and the incident radiation power in the ranges 293–343 K and 0.2–10 W respectively. Practical meaning. The interaction of mid-IR laser radiation with PPLN crystal was studied using the piezoelectric resonance laser calorimetry.

SUMMARYThus, in the present paper, we reported about several processes of nonlinear absorption and transmission in dye-doped NLC: nonlinear absorption due to light induced reorientation of NLC doped by highly dichroic dyes; nonlinear transmission due to nonlinear birefringence, and self-extinguishing of the beam due to”critical opalescence,” critically enhanced light scattering at the pre-transition region of nematic-isotropic phase transition. All these processes have large application potential for laser beam control and characterization techniques.

Background Compensation

A photopyroelectric spectrometer with real-time and(or) self-normalization capability was used for both conventional transmission and thermal-wave spectroscopic measurements of amorphous Si thin films, deposited on crystalline Si substrates. Optical-absorption-coefficient spectra were obtained from these measurements and the superior dynamic range of the out-of-phase (quadrature) photopyroelectric signal was established as the preferred measurement method, owing to its zero-background compensation capability. An extension of a photopyroelectric theoretical model was established and successfully tested in the determination of the optical absorption coefficient and the thermal diffusivity of the sample under investigation. Instrumental sensitivity limits of βt ≈ 5 × 10−3 were demonstrated.
