Defect structure of nominally pure lithium niobate crystals grown from a boron doped charge
have been studied by Raman and optical spectroscopy, laser conoscopy, and photoinduced …

It is well known that LiMO3 crystals contain a natural hydrogen defect, which binds to oxygen
and forms OH− defects. Since the shape of the corresponding absorption band varies …

Photonics on a lithium-niobate-on-insulator (LNOI) has emerged as one of the most
attractive fields within integrated optics. Recently, the lasers and amplifiers on LNOI have …

Black-odorous waters are an increasingly common phenomenon characterized by
excessive levels of nutrients, the formation of metal sufide precipitates, volatile sulfurous …

Li self-diffusion in Li2O-deficient LiNbO3 single crystals is investigated in the temperature
range between 423 and 773 K (150–500° C) by secondary ion mass spectrometry. A thin …

Highly HfO 2 doped lithium niobate crystals have been grown. The experimental results
indicate that LiNbO 3: Hf (up to 4 mol%) can withstand the same light intensity, of 5× 10 5 W …

Near-stoichiometric lithium tantalate (SLT) crystals were produced from congruent lithium
tantalate by vapor transport equilibration, and several important optical and ferroelectric …

The structural positions of protons in lithium niobate crystals (congruent nominally pure,
MgO-doped and MgO and Fe2O3 co-doped LiNbO3) have been determined by 1H nuclear …

Applications of lithium niobate in nonlinear optics at high light intensities are seriously
hampered by optical damage. Recent investigations have shown that Hf^ 4+ and Zr^ 4+ ions …

Molecular systems including clusters often manifest multiple photodissociation pathways
upon absorption of photon energy enough to break down chemical bonds. This certainly …
