Abstract
We report on a study of optical properties of whispering gallery mode resonators made out of as-grown nominally pure lithium niobate crystals. We have observed a surprising dynamic modification of the spectrum of the resonators illuminated with the near infrared light. We attribute this effect to the photorefractive damage of the resonator host material.
