Abstract

The laser conoscopy method confirms the high optical uniformity of LiNbO3:B crystals in the range of B2O3 concentrations from 0.008 to 1.24 mol. %. Minor signs of anomalous optical biaxiality appear in the conoscopic patterns of crystals at boron concentrations of 0.12 and 0.83 mol. % at a laser power of 90 mW. The maximum value of the angle of anomalous optical axes for the studied samples is 2V = 10 ́ for the sample (0.12 mol. %), аnd the value of anomalous birefringence corresponds to ∆n = 0.02·10-5.
