Abstract

We performed the complex investigation of optical inhomogeneity and defect formation processes in Mg-doped lithium niobate single crystals with different dopant concentrations including the over-threshold one (LMNO crystals). Using radiospectroscopic methods we have found the Mg impurity doping mechanism of LiNbO<SUB>3</SUB> crystals on the microscopic level. It has allowed us to give the noncontradictory explanation of the optical inhomogeneity properties of LiNbO<SUB>3</SUB>:Mg single crystals on the macroscopic level. The recommendation on the effective utilization of LiNbO<SUB>3</SUB>:Mg crystals in laser beam control equipment was proposed.
