Abstract

The present invention discloses a magnesium-doped lithium niobate crystal. The lithium niobate crystal is doped with magnesium ions Sn<4+>. The incorporation amount of magnesium ions Sn<4+> is 0.1-6.0mol% (mol percentage). Furthermore the lithium niobate crystal contains lithium ion Li<1+> and niobium ion Nb<3+> with a ratio of (0.93-1.41): 1. The magnesium-doped lithium niobate crystal has the advantages of low doping threshold, stronger photorefraction resistance, easy growing, etc. The photorefraction resistance of magnesium-doped lithium niobate crystal according to the invention is increased for four magnitudes compared with the lithium niobate crystal with the same component, and is increased for one magnitude compared with the magnesium-doped lithium niobate crystal with the same component. Therefore the magnesium-doped lithium niobate crystal is taken as an optical material which has the advantages of low doping threshold, strong photorefraction resistance and easy growing, and can totally replace the application of high magnesium-doped lithium niobate crystal. The tin-doped lithium niobate crystal has huge market prospect and significant production meaning.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nonlinear optical crystals, in particular to a tin-doped lithium niobate crystal. Background technique [0002] Lithium niobate (LiNbO 3 ) crystal is a multifunctional and multipurpose optoelectronic material. An important characteristic of lithium niobate crystals is photorefraction. On the one hand, it opens up the application of crystals in holographic storage, optical amplification, etc., but at the same time, it also limits its applications in frequency conversion, Q switching, parametric oscillation, and optical waveguides. Applications. [0003] At present, doping some impurity ions in lithium niobate crystals is an effective means to improve the photorefractive resistance of lithium niobate crystals. The doped ions include: magnesium ions Mg 2+ , Zinc ion Zn 2+ , scandium ion Sc 3+ , indium ion In 3+ , hafnium ion Hf 4+ Among them, the most widely used is the doping of Mg in the lithium nio...
