Determination of Electro-Optical Coefficients of lithium Niobate Crystals

摘要

The electro-optical coefficients R_(22), r_e of doped lithium niobate crystals were determined by the interference-polarization method, depending on the zinc concentration in the range 0.018-0.88 wt. %. The dependence of the electro-optical coefficient on the zinc concentration is nonlinear. The values r_(22), r_e are determined.
