Abstract
Undoped, Cr doped and Mg, Cr codoped LiNbO~3~ crystals were grown by conventional Czochralski technique. Comparative study was carried out using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and UVβVisible spectroscopy. Infrared optical absorption for OH^β^ ion has been used to study the effect of dopants on the crystals. The peak position of OH^β^ shift to 3535 cm^β1^ for Mg, Cr codoped crystals compared to 3484 cm^β1^ for undoped and Cr doped crystals. Prominent absorption bands are found in the visible region centered at 480 nm (20833 cm^β1^) and 653 nm (15313 cm^β1^) in Cr doped crystals. Whereas in Mg, Cr codoped crystals these broad absorption bands are red shifted to 517 nm (19342 cm^β1^) and 678 nm (14749 cm^β1^). UV cutoff in Cr doped crystals shift towards higher wavelength compared to undoped LiNbO~3~ crystals. (Β© 2007 WILEYβVCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
