Abstract

Abstract The growth of iron-doped single-crystal fibers of lithium niobate was performed by the Laser Heated Pedestal Growth Technique for different Fe 2 O 3 contents in the feed rods. We used the polaron luminescence to explain the processes of iron substitution in iron-doped single-crystal fibers of lithium niobate. The interpretation of the polaron behavior as a function of iron concentration confirms several predicted effects as the decrease of the global amount of vacancies and the predominant role of the niobium in its polaronic or bipolaronic forms in the LN lattice.
