Abstract
All coefficients of the third-column of the unclamped and clamped electro-optic tensor of zirconium-doped congruent LiNbO3 single crystals, in the concentration range up to 2.5mol%, are determined as function of the dopant concentration by direct techniques based on interferometric and Sénarmont optical arrangements at the wavelength of 633nm and at room temperature. It is found that all the unclamped and clamped electro-optic coefficients are relatively constant, except for the sample doped with 2mol% of zirconium. From the obtained experimental values, the acoustic contribution is then deduced and found constant over all the studied samples. Finally, the electro-optic behavior of LN:Zr as function of the dopant concentration was confirmed by dielectric characterizations.
