Phase Coexistence in Cs3Bi2I9 Ferroelastics: Optical, Dilatation and Ultrasonic Velocity Studies

The results for dilatometric, ultrasonic velocity and the domain struct-ure studies of Cs3Bi2I9 crystals in the course of ferroelastic phase trans-ition are presented. It is shown that the phase transition in Cs3Bi2I9 is of the first order. Basing on the thermal expansion results and the data obtained for the elastic stiffness of Cs3Bi2I9 crystals, the latent heat Q=79J/kg at Tc is calculated. The region between 183K and 221K (at cooling) is identified as a heterostructure region, where ferroelastic and paraelastic phases coexist.

Anisotropy of Laser-Induced Bulk Damage of Single Crystals

The regularities of laser-induced damage of anisotropic materials, such as LiNbO3 and KDP dielectric single crystals, are experimentally studied. It is revealed that the shape of laser-induced damage in the dielectric crystals depends on the elastic symmetry of crystal and the propagation direction of the laser beam. When the beam propagates along the optic axis of crystals, the figures of the laser damage are six-path stars for LiNbO3 and four-path ones for KDP crystals. For the direction parallel to X and Y axes in KDP crystal, the damage has initially cross-like configuration, with further splitting of Z-oriented crack into two cracks in the process of damage evolution, leading to transformation of orthogonal-type damage to a hexagonal-type one.

Studies of magnetogyration in cubic Bi12GeO20 crystals using small-angular magnetooptic polarimetry

We present the results of studies for magnetogyration (MG) effect in non-centro-symmetric, non-polar Bi12GeO20 crystals performed with the small-angular polarimetric mapping technique. The magnitude of MG rotation obtained with the small-angular mapping is close to the corresponding values obtained recently on the basis of single-ray polarimetry. Our results demonstrate that multiple reflections of light play a key role in the studies of MG effect in Bi12GeO20 crystals. They lead to the error, which is at least two times as large as the expected value of the MG rotation.

Acoustooptic Diffraction in Borate Crystals

The efficiency of acoustooptic (AO) diffraction in a-BaB2O4 and Li2B4O7 crystals is studied experimentally. The crystals are shown to be quite good AO materials. The efficiency of AO diffraction in a-BaB2O4 reaches h=30% at the electric signal power of P=0.7W for the transverse acoustic wave and 15% at the power of P=0.56W for the longitudinal wave. The same parameter for Li2B4O7 reaches h=21% at P=0,81W for the longitudinal acoustic wave.

Studies of Optical Damage in Photorefractive Single LiNbO3 Crystals using Imaging Polarimetry

The optical damage of photorefractive material, single LiNbO3 crystal, is experimentally studied. The specimen has been illuminated with the radiation of continuous Ar-laser (the wavelength of 488 nm) focused to 35?m spot. The induced birefringence map is obtained by means of imaging polarimeter. Promising resources of the experimental setup for detecting laser-induced damage in photorefractive materials is demonstrated.
