Abstract

A complex studies of optoelectronics, non-linear optical and laser stimulated piezoelectric features of chalcogenide powder-like chalcogenide crystals pure and rare earth doped AgGaGe3Se8 crystallites are presented. It is shown principal role of the morphology for the titled materials. The contribution to nonlinear optical, photoconductivity and laser stimulated piezoelectricity are comparable. The temperature dependences are explored. The possibilityity to operate by the features of the titled crystallites in the optically reflected regime is shown. This may be important for laser operated triggers, modulators, photo detectors etc. The relaxation processes are studied. Among the NLO features main attention is devoted to second harmonic generation efficiencies in the reflected regime where principal role is played by morphology. Additionally the laser stimulated piezoelectric for the near the surface states with different morphology of grains is explored. It is demonstrated that contribution of the near-the surface states for such kind of effects will be commensurable to the bulk-like contribution.
