Growth and Characterization of Tellurium Single Crystals for Applications in Imaging AOTFs
Abstract
The Final Report summarizes results of the research carried out in Russia, in M.V.Lomonosov Moscow State University and in A.F.Ioffe Physical-Technical Institute, St. Petersburg, during the period September 16, 2003 - September 15, 2004. The activities were concentrated on fabrication and characterization of physical properties of tellurium specimen grown in the A.F.Ioffe Institute under the conditions of the Contract. The theoretical investigation carried out in Moscow University according to the Contract resulted in detailed information about acoustic wave propagation in the crystal. The investigation was also devoted to study of photoelastic and acousto-optic properties of the material. Geometry of light and sound interaction optimal for the application in the imaging filter was found. On base of the grown crystal and the performed theoretical analysis, acousto-optic cell was fabricated in the A.F.Ioffe Institute. Anisotropic diffraction of infrared optical radiation was observed in the acousto-optic cell. Registered characteristics of the interaction in the crystal were in agreement with the predictions of the theory.
