Abstract

Opposite domain structures of 0.5 mol% Er-doped LiNbO3 crystals have been grown by the Czochralski technique in an off-centered geometry by modulating the growth temperature. The period and homogeneity of the opposite domain structures have been related to the growth conditions. The period of the opposite domain structure does not follow the ratio between the pulling and rotation rate. The Er dopant concentration has been found to be constant along the domain structure.
