Abstract
AbstractMg:Ce:Fe:LiNbO3 crystals were prepared with fixed concentrations of Fe2O3 and CeO2, and differing concentrations of MgO by the Czochralski technique. Their infrared transmission spectra were measured in order to investigate their defect structures and their optical damage resistance was characterized by the photoinduced birefringence change and transmission facula distortion method. The optical damage resistance of Mg:Ce:Fe:LiNbO3 crystals increases remarkably when the concentration of MgO exceeds a threshold concentration. The dependence of the optical damage resistance on the defect structure of Mg:Ce:Fe:LiNbO3 crystals is discussed in detail. (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
