Growth and Photorefractive Properties of Stoichiometric LiNbO3 and LiTaO3

  • Chapter
Photorefractive Materials and Their Applications 2

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Optical Sciences ((SSOS,volume 114))

Abstract

Since the photorefractive effect was discovered in LiNbO3 and LiTaO3, a great number of reports have appeared concerning the optical absorption bands originating from intrinsic defects or such extrinsic impurities as transition metals and rare-earth elements [1–2]. The continuing interest in this topic primarily lies in revealing the basic mechanisms underlying the photorefractive and other optically induced properties of this material, as well as in incorporating them into more efficient and stable holographic recording.
