Abstract

Nondoped and Ce₂O₃ doped near stoichiometric LiNbO₃ (Ce:LiNbO₃) single crystals were grown by the top-seeded solution method. The solution with [Li]/[Nb] ratio of 1 contained K₂O component of 10.6 mol%(7.0 wt%). The ultraviolet-visible absoprtion spectra of the crystals were measured in order to analyze their structure. The photorefractive properties of stoichiometric LiNbO₃ crystals were investigated and compared with congruent LiNbO₃ crystal. Two-wave-coupling experiments shown that doped stoichiometric LiNbO₃ crystals exhibited much larger photorefractive gain and faster response speed than congruent ones.
