Abstract

Er/Yb codoped and singly Yb-doped Z-cut LiNbO₃ crystals that were vapor-transport-equilibrated (VTE) at 1110 and 1120°C for 100, 120 and 220 h in a Li-rich atmosphere were characterized. Optical absorption edge and 153cm^-1 E(TO) phonon linewidth have been used to roughly evaluate the composition of the crystals. It was found that the VTE treatment has brought all crystals towards stoichiometric composition. Optical absorption measurement was also carried out on a precipitated Er/Yb codoped crystal with polished surfaces to verify that the precipitates grow on the bulk crystal.
