Description
The nonlinear optical properties of a number of vanadate crystals were studied using a single-beam Z-scan at 532 nm (with a picosecond Nd:YAG laser (YAG: yttrium aluminum garnet)). Both nonlinear refraction indices and nonlinear absorption coefficients were measured for the crystals. A substantial dependence of the nonlinear optical properties of the vanadates on the cuts of the crystals, the orientation of their axes relative to the polarization vector of the laser radiation, and the ligation with active ions was observed.
