Abstract

We report the temperature influence on the voltage-controlled diffractive property of Mn-doped potassium sodium tantalate niobate crystal. The crystal was grown by the top seeded solution growth method. Its quadratic electro-optic coefficients achieved as high as R11=3.50×10−15m2/V2 and R12=−0.44×10−15m2/V2 near the Curie temperature, while they declined with the increasing temperature. The external electric field which correspond to the maximum diffraction efficiency of photorefractive grating moved from 166V/mm to 512V/mm as the temperature increased from 25°C to 32.5°C. The maximum diffraction efficiencies all reached the maximum value of 60% at different temperatures. The results were discussed and compared with the theoretical equations.
