The Photorefractive Response of Zn and Mo Codoped LiNbO<sub>3</sub> in the Visible Region

We mainly investigated the effect of the valence state of photorefractive resistant elements on the photorefractive properties of codoped crystals, taking the Zn and Mo codoped LiNbO<sub>3</sub> (LN:Mo,Zn) crystal as an example. Especially, the response time and photorefractive sensitivi...

Especially, the response time and photorefractive sensitivity of 7.2 mol% Zn and 0.5 mol% Mo codoped with LiNbO<sub>3</sub> (LN:Mo,Zn<sub>7.2</sub>) crystal are 0.65 s and 4.35 cm/J at 442 nm, respectively.
