Using the Czochralski method, Er$_2$O$_3$ doped near stoichiometric LiNbO$_3$ single crystals were grown 15~20 mm in diameter and 30-35 mm in length for Z-axis. Lattice constants were inspected by the X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD) and through Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectrophotometer (FT-IR), it observed absorption band. Also, the distributions of Er concentration were confirmed by the Electron Probe Micro Analysis (EPMA).

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.

ZnO-doped near-stoichiometric $LiNbO_3$ single crystals of $0.8{\sim}1.0mm$ diameter and $30{\sim}35mm$ length were grown by the micro-pulling down (U-PD) method. The structure of the grown crystals was confirmed by powder x-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. Electron probe micro analysis (EPMA) showed that Zn ions were homogeneously incorporated In grown crystals. The threshold in ZnO doping level was confirmed that an abrupt change in the features of $OH^-$ absorption band as doping level reaching about 2 mol%.

Lithium niobate single crystals with various [Li]/[Nb] ratios were grown by the Czochralski method from melts having compositions varing between 48.6 ~ 58.0 mol % $Li_2O$. A vapor transport equilibration technique has been used to improve the homogeneity and adjust the [Li]/[Nb] ratio in small $LiNbO_3$ single crystals grown by the Czochralski method. When equilibrated with a Li-rich powder (65 mol%$Li_2O$), containing a mixture of $LiNbO_3$ and $Li_3NbO_4$, crystals of nearly stoichiometric composition can be obtained. This was established by studying the composition dependence of the following properties; lineshape, intensity and linewidth for the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) of $Fe^{3+}$ energy of the fundamental absorption edge and $OH^-$ absorption spectra.

Stoichiometric $LiNbO_3$(LN) single crystals of 1 mm diameter and 30∼40 mm length with co-doped the $Er_2O_3$ and MgO were grown by the Micro-Pulling Down(${\mu}$-PD) method. The grown crystals were investigated for the change of the up-conversion property by the $Er_2O_3$ and MgO addition and the optical damage by the MgO concentration. Also, the crystals were studied the defects using the optical microscope and it is identified the homogeneities of the distribution of the $Er_2O_3$ and MgO concentration by the Electron Probe Micro Analysis(EPMA).

Constitutional supercooling due to concentration gradient at solid-liquid interface in the melt can be avioded by increasing rotational speed for growing $LiNbO_3$ single crystals from the stoichiometric melt. Growth conditions for high quality crystals were determined by rotational speed by which other growth parameters were adjusted.

광굴절 단결정을 이용한 홀로그램 저장은 일반적으로 Fe 흑은 Ce 과 같이 한 가지 종류의 이온이 첨가된 재료를 사용해왔다. 그러나 저장된 홀로그램 정보를 재생할때 지워지지 않도록 정착화를 위해 사용된 열이나 전기장 대신 자외선을 이용한 방법이 최근에 시도되고 있다$^{(1)}$ . 이 방법은 모든 것을 광으로 처리할 수 있는 장점이 있으나 2광자 기록방법$^{(2)}$ 과는 달리 두 가지 종류의 이온 첨가물이 필요하므로 전하의 이동이나 트랩과정이 더욱 복잡할 수밖에 없다. 특히 LiNbO$_3$ 재료는 photovoltaic 특성이 매우 강하여 다른 광굴절 재료와 구별된다. congruent Mn,Fe:LiNbO$_3$에 대한 실험 결과[1]와 stoichiometric LiNbO$_3$에서의 작은 polaron과 쌍 polaron에 의한 기록과 재생실험결과$^{(3)}$ 의 발표는 있으나 2중 첨가물의 LiNbO$_3$에 대한 이론적 접근은 아직 알려진 바 없다. 본 연구에서는 Mn,Ce:LiNbO$_3$와 Fe,W:LiNbO$_3$에서의 홀로그램 기록특성을 연구하였고 photovoltaic 효과를 고려한 홀로그램의 형성과 소멸과정에 대한 수치해석을 이용하여 결과의 설명을 시도하였다.

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of $Mn^{2+}$ impurity ion in Stoichiometric $LiNbO_3$ single crystal (SLN) was investigated with an X-band EPR spectrometer in the temperature range of 3 K~296 K. The intensity of EPR spectrum of $Mn^{2+}$ ion was increased to 20 K and decreased again below 20 K as the temperature decreases. The zero-field splitting parameter D decreased as the temperature increases. It was suggested that $Mn^{2+}$ ion substitute for $Nb^{5+}$ ion instead of $Li^+$ ion. No changes for hyperfine interaction of $Mn^{2+}$ ion was obtained in the temperature range of 3 K~296 K.
