Light-induced order-of-magnitude decrease in the electric field for domain nucleation in MgO-doped lithium niobate crystals
We report an order-of-magnitude reduction in the electric field required for domain nucleation in 1 mol % MgO-doped near-stoichiometric and 5 mol % MgO-doped congruently grown lithium niobate crystals induced by illumination from a focused continuous wave laser beam at wavelengths of 514, 488, and 4...
