Method of Orthogonally Polarized Bands for Analysis of Luminescence Anisotropy and Dichroism in Lithium Fluoride Crystals with Color Centers

摘要

A method for analysis of polarization anisotropy of radiation and dichroism in crystals is proposed that is based on excitation of luminescence by the probe field having the form of a system of light bands with orthogonal polarization. The theoretical and experimental results concerning application of this method to the analysis of lithium fluoride crystals with radiation-produced color centers are presented. The specificity of optical microimage recording in crystals containing a collection of color centers is investigated.
