Magnesium Doped

Optical quality lithium niobate doped with magnesium oxide (MgO:LN) is available from Crystal Technology, Inc. This high purity, laser damage resistant lithium niobate can withstand optical intensities at least one hundred times as great as undoped, congruent composition lithium niobate without photorefractive damage. It has been shown that the concentration of MgO strongly affects this performance and therefore needs to be tightly controlled. The lithium to niobium ratio also affects the photorefractive properties.
