Abstract

Doping Eu₂o₃ and CeO₂ in LiNbO₃, Ce:Eu:LiNbO₃ crystal was successfully grown by the Czochralski method. The lattice constants of Ce:Eu:LiNbO₃ were calculated. For the reason of volume compensation effect, that lattice constants of Ce:Eu:LiNbO₃ were smaller than that of Ce:LiNbO₃ and Eu:LiNbO₃. It was found in the absorption spectra that the absorption band of Ce:Eu:LiNbO₃ has the most red shift, and this phenomenon was explained. The response time of 32s, refractive efficiency of 75% and exponential gain coefficient of 22cm(superscript -1 of Ce:Eu:LiNbO₃ was obtained by the holographic method. In the end, using Ce:Eu:LiNbO₃ as storage medium, the holographic associative storage was realized and the clear and integrated retrieval graph was obtained.
