This research aims to investigate how the melt stoichiometry of LiNbO3 affects its Curie temperature, birefringence, and phase-matching temperature.
Melt stoichiometry was varied by adjusting the Li/Nb mole ratio from 1.20 to 0.80.
Curie temperature, birefringence, and phase-matching temperature were measured and compared at different stoichiometries.
The Curie temperature changed by 120°C as the Li/Nb mole ratio varied.
Birefringence for the extraordinary ray showed a variation of 0.03 with stoichiometric adjustments.
Phase-matching temperature altered by 320°C with changes in melt stoichiometry.
