Characterization of linear and nonlinear optical properties of NaBi(WO4)2 crystal by spectroscopic ellipsometry

Abstract

NaBi(WO4)2 compound has been a material of considerable attention in optoelectronic applications. The present research, in which we examined the linear and nonlinear optical properties of NaBi(WO4)2 crystal using the spectroscopic ellipsometry method, elucidates the optical behavior of the crystal in detail. Our work provides a sensitive approach to determine the spectral characteristic of the crystal. The spectral dependence of various optical parameters such as refractive index, extinction coefficient, dielectric function and absorption coefficient was reported in the range of 1.2-5.0 eV. Optical values such as bandgap energy, critical point energy, single oscillator parameters were obtained as a result of the analyses. In addition to linear optical properties, we also investigated the nonlinear optical behavior of NaBi(WO4)2 and shed new light on the potential applications of the crystal. Absorbance and photoluminescence spectra of the crystal were also reported to characterize optical, electronic and emission behavior of the compound. Our findings may form the basis for a number of technological applications such as optoelectronic devices, frequency conversion, and optical sensors. This research contributes to a better understanding of the optical properties of NaBi(WO4)2 crystal, highlighting the material's role in future optical and electronic technologies.
