D. Xue et al., Chemical bond analysis of the second order nonlinear optical behavior of Zn-doped lithium niobate, OPT COMMUN, 182(1-3), 2000, pp. 167-173
Second order nonlinear optical properties of the Zn-doped lithium niobate s
ingle crystals have been quantitatively studied from the chemical bond view
point. The results show that the second order nonlinear optical response of
Zn-doped LiNbO3 single crystals at 1079 nm decreases linearly with increas
ing Zn concentration in the crystal. This linear correlation is quantitativ
ely expressed in the current work. Furthermore, in the present work the dif
ferent influences of Mg and Zn dopants on the dielectric response of lithiu
m niobate single crystals are compared. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All
