Abstract
The electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of Cr3+ in LiNbO3 and heavily Mg-doped LiNbO3, have been measured and analysed according to the superposition model. The axial spectrum of Cr3+ in LiNbO3 is consistent with Nb substitution. On the other hand, the dominant isotropic spectrum found in Mg-doped LiNbO3 can be accounted for if an appropriate ( approximately=0.1 AA) relaxation of the Cr3+ along the c-axis is allowed. Moreover, a point-ion calculation shows that the axial shift of the impurity ion is also qualitatively consistent with recent observations of an enhanced pi -polarization character of the optical transitions in LiNbO3:Mg, Cr.
