Research BackgroundLithium Yttrium Fluoride (LiYF4, YLF) crystal has many excellent properties such as low melting point, low phonon energy, small thermal lens effect, natural polarization, etc. It is a laser matrix material with excellent performance. YLF belongs to the tetragonal structure of scheelite, and the space group is I41/a.

3 The main application of lithium tantalate crystal3.2 OscillatorAn oscillator is an energy conversion device that converts DC power into AC power with a certain frequency. This circuit is called an oscillation circuit. The oscillator achieves free oscillation through the mutual conversion between magnetic field energy and electric field energy.Oscillators are divided into RC oscillators, LC oscillators and crystal oscillators. The crystal oscillator has a piezoelectric effect, and the crystal will deform when a voltage is applied to the two poles of the wafer.

1.2 Near-stoichiometric Lithium Tantalate Crystal Most of the lithium tantalate crystals currently used are grown from melts with the same composition ratio, which is generally called the same composition lithium tantalate (CLT). However, large number of defects affect the physical properties of the CLT crystal, so researchers have conducted study on near-stoichiometric lithium tantalate (NSLT) with less material defects and better physical properties.

2.3 Lithium tantalate single crystal filmAfter the 1980s, thin film preparation technology has developed rapidly. Currently, the commonly used preparation technologies of lithium tantalate single crystal (www.wisoptic.com) thin film mainly include chemical vapor deposition, physical vapor deposition, magnetron sputtering and sol-gel method.The chemical vapor deposition method synthesizes a thin film on a substrate through a chemical reaction and accurately controls the chemical composition of the product. It has the characteristics of low stress and good quality.

2.2 Fabrication of lithium tantalate crystal with near stoichiometric ratioThe preparation of near-stoichiometric lithium tantalate (NSLT) crystals is difficult. The current methods mainly include: the double crucible method, the flux pulling method, the float zone method and the gas phase exchange equilibrium method. 2.2.1 The double crucible methodIn the double crucible method, the melt material needs to be continuously added to the crucible during the crystal preparation process to keep the melt composition unchanged.

04 Theoretical study of thermal properties The above experiment shows that the BBO crystal (www.wisoptic.com) generates serious heat in the process of frequency quadrupling. It is known that the energy band gap of the BBO crystal is 6.56 eV, while the single photon energy of 266 nm and 532 nm lasers is 4.66 eV and 2.33 eV respectively. Theoretically, the crystal does not have single photon absorption of 266 nm and 532 nm lasers.

Conclusion Lithium tantalate material has a large pyroelectric coefficient, high Curie temperature, small dielectric loss factor, low heat melt per unit volume, small relative dielectric constant, and stable performance. It is a good ferroelectric and piezoelectric material. It also has extraordinary properties. Because of its linear optical properties, lithium tantalate (LT crystal, www.wisoptic.com) has gradually become a popular material used in communications, electronics and other fields.

1.3 Doping of Lithium Tantalate CrystalDifferent fields have different requirements for the properties of lithium tantalate crystals. When being used to prepare high-density and large-capacity holographic information storage devices, LiTaO3 crystals need to have excellent photorefractive properties. Due to the particularity of the crystal structure of LiTaO3, its physical properties can be adjusted through doping, for example, the widely used photorefractive doping.

IntroductionLithium tantalate (LiTaO3, referred to as LT), as an excellent multifunctional crystal material, has good piezoelectric, electro-optical and pyroelectric properties, and is ideal for making surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters, resonators, tuners, Q switches and pyroelectric detectors. Devices made from LT crystal (www.wisoptic.com) are widely used in the automotive electronics, 5G communications and infrared detectors, and have broad market prospects.In 1965, Ballman used the pulling method to grow LT single crystal for the first time.

04 Theoretical study of thermal properties As can be seen from Figure 5 (a), when the BBO crystal (www.wisoptic.com) matching temperature is 60 ℃, as the 266 nm deep ultraviolet laser power gradually increases from 0.32 W to 1.24 W, 2.09 W and 2.25 W, the fitted nonlinear absorption coefficient βNLA also increases continuously, from 0 to 0.079, 0.128, and 0.189 cm/GW, respectively.
