A study of new optical materials I. Crystal-chemical development of new optical frequency converters II. New hosts for Cr3+ luminescence and lasing

Creator:

Schaffers, Kathleen I.

Abstract:

The emphasis of this work has been in two areas of optical materials - the crystal-chemical development of new optical frequency converters and the synthesis and study of new hosts for Cr³⁺ luminescence and lasing. A simple method has been developed to identify promising frequency-doubling materials containing triangular oxoanions by...

OF THE THESIS OF Kathleen I. Schaffers for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry
A contribution to the development of wide band-gap nonlinear optical and laser materials

Creator:

Stone-Sundberg, Jennifer L.

Abstract:

The primary focus of this work is on examining structure-property relationships of interest for high-power nonlinear optical and laser crystals. An intuitive and simply illustrated method for assessing the nonlinear optical potential of structurally characterized noncentrosymmetric materials is introduced. This method is applied to materials including common quartz and tourmaline...
