Study on the Growth and Compact Volume Holographic Storage Properties of Ce:Fe:LiNbO₃ Crystal at 633 nm

Crystals of Ce:Fe:LINbO₃ were grown from melt by Czochraski method. Compact Volume Holographic storage properties of the Ce:Fe:LiNbO₃ at 633 nm have been studied for the first time. The response time of Fe:LiNbO₃ and Ce:Fe:LiNbO₃, with different impurity density, has been measured and compared. It is shown in our experment that Ce:fo:LINbO₃ crystal is more sensitive to 633 urn than Fe:LINbO₃ crystal. So it is a good kind of material of Volume Holographic record.
