Abstract
Abstract Raman spectra and electrooptical Kerr coefficients of glasses belonging to one lithium–niobate–silicate glass-forming system x Nb 2 O 5 · (66 − x )SiO 2 · 19Li 2 O · 11K 2 O · 2B 2 O 3 · 2CdO are studied. It has been found that these glasses demonstrate a record value of electrooptical Kerr coefficient; the glass with x = 35 showed electrooptical Kerr coefficient equal to 266 × 10 −16 m/V 2 . Using Raman spectroscopy combined with the concept of Constant Stoichiometric Groupings, a correlation of electrooptical Kerr coefficients of these glasses with the content of Li 2 O · Nb 2 O 5 (or 2LiNbO 3 ) groupings has been demonstrated. The hypothesis that electrooptical Kerr sensitivity of glasses is related to the ordered regions with composition and symmetry corresponding to some of known electrooptical crystals has been verified. These regions, which the authors called ‘Crystal Motifs’, are identified with the groupings found in studying Raman spectra of the glasses.
