Abstract

By studying the temperature dependence of the dark decay dynamics of the ultraviolet-light-induced absorption coefficient changes, we measured the thermal activation energy of the ultraviolet-light-induced absorption coefficeint change in damage-resistant lithium niobate crystals. The ultraviolet-light-induced absorption changes were ascribed to the generation of the small polarons O- under the illumination of UV lights. We show that the thermal activation energy of the O- centers is influenced by the surrounding nearby negatively charged defect centers.
