Photothermal Conversion of F-centres in Additively Coloured Potassium Chloride Crystals with Cationic and Anionic Impurities  (download full version)

Vladimirov D.A., Mandel V.E., Popov A.Yu., Tyurin A.V.

The compensating influence of cationic (Ca++ ions) and anionic (OH– ions) impurities doped into additively coloured potassium chloride crystal on the process of photothermal conversion of F-centres is detected. “Brightening” in the absorption band of the F-centres is revealed that achieves 90%. It is not accompanied by the appearance of centres absorbing in the visible range. Double vacancies and the complexes Ca++(OH–)2-cationic vacancy are shown to be responsible for this phenomenon. Basing on those results, a new system for holographic recording is suggested that uses the compensating effect of cationic and anionic impurities .

Key words: volume holograms, KCl crystals, cationic impurities, anionic impurities
