Lithium niobate (LiNbO3, LN) crystal doped with iron (Fe:LiNbO3) is an attractive photorefractive material, due to the high photorefractive sensitivity, high electro-optic coefficients, and diffraction efficiency, chemo-mechanical properties. Fe:LiNbO3 crystals are grown by Czochralsky method and available in large size. A wide range of available dopants and levels enable to adjust material properties for particular applications. What is more, Fe:LiNbO3 crystals are easy to handle, low cost, therefore suitable for volume production.
