摘要
A simple nondestructive diffraction method is introduced to estimate the internal electric field present in the congruent lithium niobate crystal. Due to the presence of an unrelaxed internal field, the as-poled sample acts as an index grating and diffracts the incident light beam. By analyzing the diffraction patterns, we calculated the refractive index difference (Delta n = 1.52 x 10(-4)) between the poled and the unpoled domains, and the duty cycle error of 7.9%. Using the Pockels effect, the internal field E-i present in the periodically poled lithium niobate crystal is estimated to be 2.56 kV/mm. (C) 2021 Optical Society of America
