Abstract: | A series of In:Yb:Er:LiNbO3 crystals have been grown. The UV‐Vis absorption spectra and Infrared (IR) transmission spectra were measured and discussed in terms of the spectroscopic characterizations and the defect structure of the In:Yb:Er:LiNbO3 crystals. The optical damage resistance was characterized by the transmitted beam pattern distortion method. The optical damage resistance of In (3.0mol %):Yb:Er:LiNbO3 crystal is one order of magnitude higher than that of other crystal. The dependence of the optical damage resistance on the defect structure was studied. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) |
