Abstract
Using the micro-pulling down method, $Nd_2O_3$ doped crack-free stoichiometric $LiNbO_3$ single crystals were grown in 1 mm diameter and 30∼35 mm length. The homogeneous distributions of $Nd_2O_3$ concentration were confirmed by the electron probe micro analysis. The absorption and photoluminescence spectra were measured with respect to the $Nd_2O_3$ doping.
Keywords
