STRUCTURE AND OPTICAL DAMAGE RESISTANCE IN In:Mn:Fe:LiNbO3 CRYSTALS

A series of In:Mn:Fe:LiNbO3 crystals were prepared with fixed concentrations of Fe2O3, MnCO3 and various concentrations of In2O3. Their ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectra were measured in order to investigate their defect structure. The optical damage resistance of In:Mn:Fe:LiNbO3 cryst...

Zusammenfassung:A series of In:Mn:Fe:LiNbO3 crystals were prepared with fixed concentrations of Fe2O3, MnCO3 and various concentrations of In2O3. Their ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectra were measured in order to investigate their defect structure. The optical damage resistance of In:Mn:Fe:LiNbO3 crystals was characterized by the transmitted beam pattern distortion method. It increases remarkably when the concentration of In2O3 is over its threshold concentration. The optical damage resistance of In(3.0 mol%):Mn:Fe:LiNbO3 crystal is two orders of magnitude higher that of the Mn:Fe:LiNbO3 crystal. The dependence of the defects on the optical damage resistance of the In:Mn:Fe:LiNbO3 crystals was discussed.
