Abstract

We have observed regenerative optical and electrical pulsations in Fe-doped photogalvanic/photorefractive crystals LiNbO₃ (LN). Rise time of the emitted electromagnetic pulses was 2 ns and amplitude of up to 10V for Continuous Wave (CW) laser power 50-200 mW. Optical pulsators, predicted by our theoretical approach were realized in LiNbO₃:Fe crystals using Ar-ion laser, of wavelength 514 and 457 nm, and power P= 50-200 mW, with frequencies of pulsation ranging from sec to msec. The arrays of the Optical Photogalvanic Pulsators (OPP) may be constructed as a testing field for a novel parallel processing logic based on the pulsed-couple neural networks (PCNN). We have also tested the synchronous nature of the optical, electrical and piezoelectric signals.
