Abstract

Blue light-induced infrared absorption is investigated in bulk and periodically poled KTiOPO₄, MgO:stoichiometric-LiNbO₃, MgO:stoichiometric-LiTaO₃, KNbO₃. KNbO₃ and MgO:stoichiometric-LiNbO₃ show the lowest susceptibility to the induced absorption. Periodic poling increases the susceptibility in KTiOPO₄ and MgO:stoichiometric-LiTaO₃.
