Time evolution of Symmetry-forbidden Raman lines activated by photorefractivity
Transmission Raman spectroscopy experiments were performed on iron doped congruent lithium niobate within two –in principle equivalent- configurations, namely Y(ZX)Y and Y(XZ)Y. While the former respects the Raman selection rules, the other configuration gives a time dependent spectrum that, after a...

Sumario: | Transmission Raman spectroscopy experiments were performed on iron doped congruent lithium niobate within two –in principle equivalent- configurations, namely Y(ZX)Y and Y(XZ)Y. While the former respects the Raman selection rules, the other configuration gives a time dependent spectrum that, after a transient time of several minutes, finally results in a mixture of expected and forbidden modes. This breaking of Raman selection rules is caused by the spontaneous conversion of a part of the ordinarily polarized pump beam into an extraordinarily polarized beam by photorefractive anisotropic self-scattering. A numerical modelling of the phenomenon is developed and fairly reproduces the time dependence of conversion energy. |
