Abstract

The congruent Zr:Ce:Fe:LiNbO₃ crystals have been grown by the Czochralski method with fixed concentrations of CeO₂ and Fe₂O₃ and various concentrations of ZrO₂. The Ultraviolet(UV)-Visible(Vis) absorption spectra were measured in order to investigate their defect structures and their optical damage resistance was characterized by the transmission light spot distortion method. The results show that the optical damage resistance of the Zr:Ce:Fe:LiNbO₃ crystals improves with the doping concentration of ZrO₂ increasing. The dependence of the optical damage resistance on the defect structure of Zr:Ce:Fe:LiNbO₃ crystals was discussed.
