Abstract
Comprehensive study of depolarization field bulk screening was carried out in lithium niobate and lithium tantalate single crystals with various stoichiometry. Three used complementary methods are based on: 1) dependence of coercive field on delay time; 2) decrease of optical contrast of domain wall trace; 3) relaxation of light diffraction intensity on domain walls. The following parameters of bulk screening process were obtained: relaxation time constants, type of relaxation law, maximal value of bias field and “true” value of coercive field. Advantages and disadvantages of used experimental methods were analyzed.
