Abstract :
We studied blue light-induced near-infrared absorption (BLINIRA) and its temperature dependence in ferroelectric crystals, i.e., MgO-doped stoichiometric-LiNbO3, congruent-LiNbO3, MgO-doped stoichiometric-LiTaO3, and stoichiometric-LiTaO3. We found the BLINIRA decreased with the increase of temperature.
