A photoelectric response of a Bi12SiO20 crystal grown in an argon atmosphere on a linearly polarized light (which is referred to as the linear photogalvanic effect) is reported for the first time in the nanosecond-time domain. Optimal geometry for detection of the photo-induced current concerning the orientation of the polarization state of the incident light in respect to the crystallographic axes of a sample was determined considering both the natural optical activity and light absorption of sillenite crystals. Spectral dependence of the photogalvanic current was measured in the visible part (410 - 610 nm) of the spectrum. Temporal shape of light-induced electric-current pulses observed at different experimental conditions is discussed. Obtained results are believed to show that sillenite crystals are very prospective for development of different ultra-fast optoelectronics devices.

Shear mode ultrasonic waves are in high demand for structural health monitoring (SHM) applications owing to their nondispersive characteristics, singular mode, and minimal energy loss, especially in harsh environments. However, the generation and detection of a pure shear wave using conventional piezoelectric materials present substantial challenges because of their complex piezoelectric response, involving multiple modes. Herein, we introduce a high-quality piezoelectric crystal BiSiO (BSO), exhibiting a robust piezoelectric response ( = 45.

Real-time holographic recording and an improvement of the response time in ruthenium (Ru)-doped Bi(12)SiO(20) (BSO) crystal at 1064 nm is obtained. Using green light pre-exposure, a significant operation speed of 60 ms is achieved. In addition, the ability for image reconstruction is demonstrated in Ru-doped BSO, supporting further applications as reversible media for real-time image processing at the near-IR spectral range.

We show that the diffraction of a pump beam in the direction of a weak signal leads to a net amplification of the signal beam, with no need for a phase shift between the interference pattern and the induced index grating. A two-wave-mixing gain of 10 and a 150-ms response time are obtained with a 8.

A light-controlled electro-optic power limiter that uses a Bi(12)SiO(20) crystal has been demonstrated. The threshold light intensity is determined by the control light and can be set to any desired level.
