Abstract

Doping ZnO and Ga₂O₃ in LiNbO₃ crystal, the Zn:Ga:LiNbO₃ was grown by Czochralski method. The IR transmission spectra and the photon damage resistance ability of the LiNbO₃ and Zn:Ga:LiNbO₃ crystal were measured. The proton exchange technology was used to make the LiNbO₃ and Zn:Ga:LiNbO₃ crystal waveguide substrates. The m-line method was taken to study the photo damage of waveguide substrate. We observed that the threshold of Zn:Ga:LiNbO₃ is above two magnitude higher than that of Mg:LiNbO₃. Zn:Ga:LiNbO₃ crystal is better performance than LiNbO₃ crystal.
