摘要
The ferroelectric phase transition in a single-domain KTiOPO4 (KTP) crystal is studied with optical second-harmonic generation. The optical nonlinearity decreases continuously with increasing temperature and vanishes at the Curie point (T(C)=952-degrees-C) and above. Over a broad temperature range in the ferroelectric phase, the nonlinear optical coefficient d33 is-proportional-to (T(C)-T)0.5. This behavior is in good agreement with the Landau theory for second-order ferroelectric phase transitions.
