Compared with congruent LN (cLN) crysal, the electro-optic coefficient, nonlinear optical coefficient, periodic polarization reversal voltage and applied photorefractive properties of stoichiometric LN (sLN) crystal are greatly improved. With such excellent physical properties and wide application prospects, sLN crystal has rapidly become a competitive optoelectronic material.sLN crystals are expected to be thermodynamically stable up to their melting temperature at 1170°C, while keeping a largerelectrical resistivity than cLN crystals by one order of magnitude at any temperature.

Nominally pure stoichiometric LiNbO3 shows lower photorefractive damage resistance than congruent crystal; however, stoichiometric crystals doped with MgO of more than 1.8 mol.

Lithium  Niobate (LN) crystal has excellent electro-optic, acousto-optic,  piezoelectric and nonlinear properties. More and more attention has been paid on its application in military technology. LN crystal has large nonlinear optical coefficient and can easily achieve non-critical phase matching. As an E-O material, LN crystal has been used as an important optical waveguide material.

Pure LiNbO3 (LN) is a good candidate for various optical devices, but has a major disadvantage due to its low threshold optical damage. MgO:LN (congruent compositions) is one of the possible solutions to deal with this problem. MgO doping has played an important role in LN and shown an increased threshold laser beam strength by 100 times. An interesting point is that every physical property of MgO:LN (e.g.

One of the most important drawbacks of popular LiNbO3 crystal is its susceptibility to photorefractive damage (optically induced change of refractive index, usually under exposure with blue or green CW light). The usual way to eliminate this effect is to keep LN crystals at elevated temperatures (400K or more). Another way to prevent photorefractive damage is MgO-doping (usually at levels of around 5 mol% for congruent LN).

Lithium Niobate (LiNbO3) is widely used  in fiber communication devices as birefringent crystal and used as electro-optic modulator and Q-switch for Nd:YAG, Nd:YLF and Ti:Sapphire lasers. It has good mechanical and physical properties and is ideal for optical polarizing components due to its wide transparency range and low cost. LiNbO3's applications for fiber communication include isolators, circulators, beam displacers, and other polarizing optics. The transverse modulation is mostly employed for LiNbO3 crystal.

LN crystals are nonhygroscopic and have low absorption coefficient and insert loss. In addition, LN crystal can operate stably in a wide temperature range, which makes them the main EO crystal applied in military laser systems.LN electro-optic Q-switches are widely used in Er:YAG, Ho:YAG, Tm:YAG lasers, and are suitable for low-power Q-switched output, especially in laser ranging. LN Pockels cells can be very compact, and the half-wave voltage can be very low. By doping MgO in LiNbO3, the damage threshold of LN Pockels cells can been increased dramatically.

The periodic polarized KTP (PPKTP) is a novel nonlinear optical material that can be customized to achieve all of the nonlinear applications required in the entire KTP crystal transmission band, without the phase matching limitations of conventional KTP. Moreover, the effective nonlinear coefficient of PPKTP is about 3 times higher than that of conventional KTP. In the nonlinear application of conventional KTP, the crystal must have a single domain structure, but PPKTP crystal has an artificially induced periodic domain structure.
