The introduction of nonlinear nanophotonic devices to the field of optical frequency comb
metrology has enabled new opportunities for low-power and chip-integrated clocks, high …

A simple surfactant assisted solution-phase approach is demonstrated here for the
preparation of lithium niobate (LiNbO3) nanoparticles with an average size of 30 nm. This …

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 …

Hydrogen incorporation during crystal growth or other treatment has attracted research
interest for a long time, but inconsistent literature data exist about the bulk hydrogen …

Congruent lithium niobate single crystals with a Ru: Mg co-dopant have been successfully
grown using the Czochralski technique from the melt containing 0.02 mol% Ru with Mg of …

We have established that luminescence in lithium niobate crystals both congruent and near-
stoichiometric (R≈ 1) is due to point defects in the cationic sublattice and …

Periodically poled lithium niobate is an important component in mid-infrared lasers due to its
perfect nonlinear optical property. However, fabrication of high-power laser based on …

Abstract Mg-doped (0.5 mol% and 1 mol%) near-stoichiometric lithium niobate (nSLN)
crystals were prepared by Li-rich growth method and VTE technique, respectively. Their …

An optical spectroscopy study is reported of single crystals of the LiNbO3–LiTaO3 solid
solution. The spectra are dominated by the fundamental absorption edges. The direct band …

MgO-doped LiNbO3 (LN: Mg) is famous for its high resistance to optical damage, but this
phenomenon only occurs in visible and infrared regions, and its photorefraction is not …
