Abstract :
We carried out a series of experiments, to measure different properties of the Zr:LN crystals, as a function of dopant concentration. In particular we measured the crystals photorefractivity (as a function of pump intensity and by using two different techniques), the effective electro-optic coefficient reff and the refractive indices n.
