Abstract

Light-induced optical absorption in KNbO₃, LiNbO₃, and KTiOPO₄ (KTP) is of concern for the performance of these important nonlinear optical materials. Gray track formation in KTP and LiNbO₃, and blue-light-induced infrared absorption in KNbO₃ have been the focus of recent research on photo-damage. Picosecond growth and decay of optical absorption produced by ∼0.8 ps pulses of blue laser light are described in the present work on crystals of KNbO₃, LiNbO₃, and KTP in comparison to measurements made with electron pulses and X-ray irradiation.
