Dynamics of Changes in Optical Absorption Induced By Nanosecond Laser Pulses in the Bi12Tio20:Al Crystal

Abstract

The dynamics of the changes in optical absorption in Bi12TiO20:Al crystal at the wavelength of 655 nm, which were induced by a packet of laser pulses with the wavelength of 526.5 nm, pulse width of 10 ns, repetition frequency from 10 Hz to 1 kHz and pulse energy of 9-15 μJ had been experimentally investigated.


Keywords: light-induced absorption, bismuth titanium oxide crystal, impulse radiation
