Abstract
The photoluminescence intensity in lithium niobate crystals close to the stoichiometric composition being lower than in a congruent crystal was established. The increase of Li / Nb ratio leads to shifting the photoluminescence bands to the short-wavelength region of the spectrum and changing the fundamental absorption edge of the crystals under study. It was shown that, in addition to point defects in the cationic sublattice, complex defects due to the presence of OH groups and compensation defects (VLi / VNb) in the structure can also contribute to photoluminescence.
