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.

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.

AbstractThe electrical conductance and optical absorption coefficient of microcrystalline indium oxide (c – In2 O 3-x ) can be changed reversibly by several orders of magnitude by photoreduction and reoxidation. Photoreduction is achieved by exposure to ultraviolet light hv ≥ 3.5eV in vacuum or an inert gas. The effects are similar to those previously observed in amorphous In2 O3-x
