Abstract

Large, good quality single crystals of mercurous bromide (Hg 2Br 2) were grown by the physical vapor transport method. Velocity of acoustic waves along the 〈110〉 direction was measured to be 273 m/s, indicating the capability of delaying 100 μs long cells which are only 2.73 in aperture. Preliminary results showed that mercurous bromide is an exciting material for acoustic-optic tunable filters (AOTF) and Bragg cells suitable for optical signal processing.
