Abstract
The shift of the UV‐absorption edge was applied to determine the real LiNbO3 crystal composition. The accuracy of the method is about 10−2 mole% using a simple commercial UV‐spectrophotometer. The effect of various impurities and other error sources are discussed.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
