Abstract
Based on the Einstein oscillator model and the Urbach rule, we study the electron-phonon interaction and the band-edge structure of LiNbO${}_{3}$:Mg. We report on the concentration threshold behavior of the Einstein oscillator, the electron-phonon interaction, the band-edge absorption, and the light-induced small hole polarons O${}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ in LiNbO${}_{3}$:Mg crystals with increasing Mg-doping concentration. The result gives a fundamental microscopic mechanism of the concentration threshold behavior related to the band-edge optical properties and the light-induced charge transport of LiNbO${}_{3}$:Mg crystals, and is helpful to optimize LiNbO${}_{3}$ for applications such as nonlinear optics.
