ABSTRACT |
The Ce, Mn: $LiTaO_3$ crystals were grown by Czochralski method in congruent ${varphi}$3" $LiTaO_3$ single crystal growing conditions. Concentrations of Ce and Mn in melt were respectively 0.1 mole%. As-grown crystals were red, transparent and the grown crystals were tested with oxidation/reduction treatment for clor and other properties. Influence of Ce and Mn dopants on $LiTaO_3$ crystal properties was discussed. And the nonlinear optical properties of the Ce, Mn: $LiTaO_3$ crystal are being studied. |
