Abstract :
In this work we present an investigation principally aimed at determining the threshold in HfO2 concentration above which no further reduction of photorefraction is obtained. The measurements are made by inducing photorefraction with a 532-nm laser beam on a set of congruent LN crystals doped with increasing HfO2 concentration.
