Optical Property of LiNbO3 Crystal Codoped with In, Mg and Fe

In2O3, MgO and Fe2O3 were doped in LiNbO3 and Czochralski method was used to grow In:Mg:Fe:LiNbO3 crystals. The OH- extension transmission spectra, light scattering resistance ability, two wave coupled diffraction efficiency and response time of the crystal were measured. Codoping In and Mg in crystal will improve its light scattering resistance ability and response time. Doping In can increase the ability to replace antisite Nb and decrease the doping quantity of Mg. All these are propitious to improve the optical homogeneity of crystal. Doping Fe can improve the photorefractive sensitivity for LiNbO3 crystal. We discussed the site of In, Mg and Fe in LiNbO3 crystals and the influence of the absorption peak of OH- transmission spectra on photorefractive property for LiNbO3 crystal.
