Popis: Single crystals of Bi12TiO20 (BTO) are grown by a modified Czochralski technique. Doping with cadmium, calcium, gallium, and vanadium is performed by adding corresponding oxides to the melt. Optical parameters like refractive index, optical absorption, optical activity, light induced absorption, electrooptic coefficient, and photoconductivity are determined. Photorefractive properties of the samples are characterized with the help of a conventional two-beam interference setup. Diffraction efficiency and decay time constant of elementary holograms are determined. The influence of the utilized dopands is discussed.
