description

The studies of optical absorption and transmission of crystalline lithium niobate compounds modified by rare-earth and alkali-earth elements: LiNbO3: Y (0.46 wt %), LiNbO3: Y (0.32 wt %), Mg (0.24 wt %), LiNbO3: Mg (0.27 wt %), LiNbO3: Gd (0.004, 0.04, 0.26, and 0.43 wt %), and ostensibly pure LiNbO3 is reported. The features of absorption and transmission are examined with respect to the dosage of γ-irradiation, the annealing temperature, and the type and concentration of modifying admixtures. The features revealed in different ways of bleaching γ-irradiated and annealed in vacuum ostensibly pure lithium niobate crystals are used to refine the mechanisms of developing electron and point defects and to propose a model of processes taking place at γ-irradiation.
