Abstract
Zn,Fe co-doped near stoichiometric LiNbO3 crystals with variant Zn concentrations and with same Fe concentrations were grown by top-seeded-solution-growth (TSSG) method. The optical damage resistances of SLN crystals were studied by the method of transmittance facula distortion. The UV-Vis spectra showed that the grown undoping crystal had a composition very close to stoichiometric LiNbO3 crystal, and the absorption edges moved as the doping concentration changed. The optical damage experiments showed that, the crystal with 2mol% of Zn was with high resistance to optical damage, and the optical damage resistance was improved evidently as the Zn concentration increased further.
