Growth and Characterization of Titanium Doped Lithium Niobate Single Crystal Using Czochralski Technique

Article Preview

Abstract:

A successful growth of the titanium-doped lithium niobate (Ti: LiNbO3) single crystal by Czochralski method is reported. By preserving an effective control of growth parameters such as maintaining accurate temperature gradient by controlling its output power and growth rate as well as wisely choosing the right pulling rate and speed rotation, the Ti:LiNbO3 single crystal successfully produced using Automatic Diameter Control-Crystal Growth System (ADC-CGS). The structural and optical analyses have been done by using X-ray Diffractometer (XRD), Differential Thermal Analyzer (DTA) and Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. The crystallinity of the sample has been confirmed using XRD and DTA has been used to determine the crystal nature of the sample. The position of fundamental absorption edge was recorded via transmission spectra in UV and visible region.
