Fractal analysis of the Rayleigh Photoinduced Light Scattering Pattern from LiNbO3:Zn Crystals

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Spectroscopy Aims and scope

Fractal analysis was used to study Rayleigh photoinduced light scattering (PILS) patterns in a series of LiNbO3:Zn single crystals (0.018–0.88 mass%) that were grown from the congruent melt and were promising as nonlinear optical materials with low photorefraction and coercive-field values. Results from fractal analysis and Raman light-scattering spectroscopy were compared. Extremes found on the time dependence of the fractal dimension of various layers of the PILS pattern speckle structure indicated that the concentration of laser-induced defects in the photorefractive crystal changed. The rate of change of the concentration of laser-induced defects depended non-linearly on the crystal Zn concentration. The form of congruent Zn-doped LiNbO3 crystals with the most ordered structure was identified.
