Growth of Near-Stoichiometric Lithium Tantalite Crystal and its Optical Characterization

Article Preview

Abstract:

Near-stoichiometric lithium tantalite (LiTaO3) crystals were grown by the top-seed solution pulling method in congruent melt with the addition of K2O. The crystals were characterized by measurement of the ultraviolet absorption edge, ability of photo-damage resistance, and the domain structure analysis. Compared with the congruent crystal shows that, the ultraviolet absorption edge of the near-stoichiometric crystals has a blue shift towards a shorter wavelength and curie temperature is also improved; the domain structure of near-stoichiometric LiTaO3 crystals is hexagonal; and the photo-damage resistance of the crystals is greatly improved.
