Description

Influence of defect structure on the infrared transmission spectra of OH- in Zn:Fe:LiNbO3 crystals with various ZnO concentration and different Li/Nb ratios was investigated. It indicates that above the Zn concentration threshold the OH- absorptions bands successively shift from 3482cm-1 to 3504cm-1 and 3529cm-1. The intensity of the 3504cm-1 band increases with ZnO concentration increasing. The optical damage resistance of the Zn:Fe:LiNbO3 crystals increases rapidly when the ZnO concentration exceeds a threshold value. This result contributed to the site alteration from the Li sites to Nb sites due to Zn-doping in crystal. copyright 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH and Co. KGaA, Weinheim. (orig.)
