Abstract
The congruent, stoichiometric, and Mg doped stoichiometric LiTaO3 single crystals have been successfully grown by the Czochralski technique. The evolution of defect structures caused by varying composition and post-growth processing has been evaluated from the optical absorption and photoluminescence measurements. Optical absorption studies showed that the UV absorption edge is very sensitive to the composition of LiTaO3 crystals. Photoluminescence of various LiTaO3 single crystals at room temperature was observed. The emission bands centered at 360, 430, and 530 nm were assigned to different defects, which can well show the defect information in LiTaO3 crystals.
