Raman spectra of Nd-doped LiTaO3 have been measured at right angle sca
ttering geometries at room temperature. The spectra have drastically a
nomalous phenomena as compared with those of pure LiTaO3. We may attri
bute these anomalies to the enhanced photoinduced refractive index cha
nge and the change of LiTaO3 microstructure resulting from Nd doping.
