Potassium dihydrogen phosphate, effect

For many years such media have been based on strong salt solutions, e.g. calcium chloride brines. Sodium dichromate has been used (seep. 17 26), but recently other inhibitors have been claimed to be effective. One patent quotes N-alkyl-substituted alkanolamines, e.g. 2-ethyl ethanolamine -I- BTA at pH A mixture of hydrazine hydrochloride -i- BTA has been claimed as well as a mixture of gelatin -h triethanolamine -h potassium dihydrogen phosphate . Other examples are to be found in the patent literature and the above are quoted to illustrate the diversity of chemicals that may be used. 

In contrast, the nonlinearities in bulk materials are due to the response of electrons not associated with individual sites, as it occurs in metals or semiconductors. In these materials, the nonlinear response is caused by effects of band structure or other mechanisms that are determined by the electronic response of the bulk medium. The first nonlinear materials that were applied successfully in the fabrication of passive and active photonic devices were in fact ferroelectric inorganic crystals, such as the potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) crystal or the lithium niobate (LiNbO,) [20-22]. In the present, potassium dihydrogen phosphate crystal is broadly used as a laser frequency doubler, while the lithium niobate is the main material for optical electrooptic modulators that operate in the near-infrared spectral range. Another ferroelectric inorganic crystal, barium titanate (BaTiOj), is currently used in phase-conjugation applications [23].

The stated quantities of soya peptone, yeast extract, trypticase, potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Tween 80 and agar-agar are dissolved in the demineralized water by heating. The stated quantity of sodium carbonate is then added. As a result of the buffer effect of the sodium carbonate, it is not necessary to set the pH. The solution is sterilized by being heated in an autoclave for 20 minutes at 121 C. The culture medium is then cooled down to kG C. Then 10 ml of a 1 % sterile-filtered aqueous solution of TTC and ml of 10 % sterile-filtered aqueous solution of sodium azide solution are added. After mixing well, the culture medium is poured out into sterile Petri dishes. 

Since the electro-optic tensor has the same symmetry as the tensor of the inverse piezoelectric effect, the linear electro-optic (Pockels) effect is confined to the symmetry groups in which piezoelectricity occurs (see Table 8.3). The electro-optic coefficients of most dielectric materials are small (of the order of 10 m V ), with the notable exception of ferroelectrics such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP KH2PO4), lithium niobate (liNbOs), lithium tantalate (LiTaOs), barium sodium niobate (Ba2NaNb50i5), or strontium barium niobate (Sro.75Bao.25Nb206) (Zheludev, 1990). For example, the tensorial matrix of KDP with symmetry group 42m has the form... 

Small amount of impurities sometimes retard dramatically the crystal growth rate. Chromium(III), for example, suppresses the crystal growth of potassium sulfate(i), ammonium dihydrogen phosphate(2) and ammonium sulfate (5), etc. in aqueous solutions. Other metallic ions, iron(III), aluminium(III) are also effective impurities W...
