Optical spectroscopy of trivalent chromium in sol-gel lithium niobate
- Department of Physics and Astronomy, Franklin and Marshall College, Lancaster, Pennsylvania 17604 (United States)
We report on the characterization of sol-gel derived lithium niobate via trivalent chromium probe ions, a study that is motivated by recent reports on the synthesis of high quality sol-gel lithium niobate (LiNbO{sub 3}). In order to assess the quality of sol-gel derived LiNbO{sub 3}, we incorporate Cr{sup 3+} during the hydrolysis stage of the sol-gel process. A comparison of the Cr{sup 3+} emission and photoexcitation data on both sol-gel and melt-grown LiNbO{sub 3} shows that the sol-gel derived material is highly stoichiometric.
