UV laser induced ferroelectric domain inversion in lithium niobate single crystals

UV radiation in the spectral region beyond ~ 320 nm is strongly absorbed by lithium niobate single crystals. The strong absorption and the consequent localized heating of the crystal triggers physical processes which can affect the state of the material not only by changing the refractive index, as...
