Abstract

Homogenous tetragonal potassium lithium tantalate niobate (KLTN) crystals were grown using the flux pulling method. A two-wave-mixing gain coefficient of 0.5cm−1 has been measured using undoped KLTN. The gain coefficient can be increased to 2.7 cm−1 after doping of 0.2wt% Fe. The “cat” self-pumped phase conjugator was performed, for the first time, with KLTN:Fe crystal. We obtained a reflectivity of 14% and a response time less than 3 seconds using a frequency-doubled Nd:YAG quasi-continuous laser.
