Special Issue on the 120th Anniversary of Shandong University
This special issue is dedicated to celebrating the 120th Anniversary of Shandong University (SDU) on October 15, 2021, while also highlighting captivating research works and reviews from various aspects of optics and photonics. The scope of this issue encompasses a wide range of topics, including but not limited to optoelectronic functional crystals, basic science, applied and engineering research, and their applications. The guest editors for this special issue consist of five prominent researchers in these fields: Prof. Yicheng Wu and Prof. Zhanggui Hu from Tianjin University of Technology, and Prof. Jiyang Wang, Prof. Xiangang Xu, and Prof. Haohai Yu from SDU.
Inspired by Light: Science & Applications, this special issue features a series of cutting-edge works that explore the following areas:(1)Development of large-size optical crystals, growth techniques, and optoelectronic devices. (2)Discovery and preparation of new functional crystals, along with their characterization. (3)Innovative approaches in laser and nonlinear optics. (4)Novel concepts and techniques in material and optical science.
Large-aperture high-quality DKDP crystal with deuteration level of 70% has been successfully grown, which can fabricate the large single-crystal optics with the size exceeding 400 mm for ICF application.
Hydrothermal-grown KTiOPO4 (KTP) Crystal for Electro-optical Q-switch—a crystal having a high electro-optic coefficient, a low dielectric constant, and capable of operating at high frequencies (>1 MHz).
The crystal growth, defects control, electrical property and corresponding device authentication of N-type, P-type and semi-insulating silicon carbide crystals in Shandong University are introduced.
Structure-property correlations and related materials discovery of deep-ultraviolet nonlinear optical crystals are reviewed while elucidating the core concepts and stringent criteria.
