Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mean for surely manufacturing a single crystal having a large diameter and free from inclusions. SOLUTION: A lithium niobate single crystal or lithium tantalate single crystal having a large diameter and free from inclusions such as air bubbles is obtained by applying an accelerated crucible rotation technique (ACRT) comprising changing the rotation number or the rotation direction of a crucible to a single crystal growth technique based on a double crucible method, and thereby, controlling the movement of the crucible and enhancing the agitation effect.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To highly precisely and uniformly form a polarization inversion struc ture without any optical distortion. SOLUTION: The optical functional element is obtained by forming the polarization inversion structure at the temperature lower than the Curie temperature by using an electron beam scanning irradiation method or voltage application method in a part of a ferroelectric single crystal substrate preparedly using LiNbO3 crystal having 0.95 to 1.01 molar ratio of Li/Nb as the substrate, and the optical functional element controls the light passing through the polarization inversion part. By this method,

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical device that a large change amount in the refractive index can be obtained by using a proton exchange layer formed in a stoichiometric LN crystal, the characteristics of the optical device are improved, the scattering loss in the proton exchange layer is decreased and the optical constant in the proton exchange layer is improved. SOLUTION: The optical device has a nearly stoichiometric LiNbPO3 crystal substrate having the molar ratio of Li/Nb ranging from 0.95 to 1.01 and a proton exchange layer formed near the surface of the crystal. The proton exchange is performed by dipping the substrate in a heated pyrophosphoric acid. The surface layer of the LiNbO3 crystal substrate is exchanged with protons (H+) to form HLiNbO3 and a large difference in the refractive index between the LN crystal substrate and the proton exchange layer is obtained.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a crucible and an apparatus for producing a single crystal, capable of independently controlling the temperatures of a melting tank and a growing tank and realizing the temperature distribution at the inside of the growing tank, providing a heat convection ideal for a pulling method and with which a large scale single crystal having a uniform composition and a prescribed target diameter can be produced, and to provide a method of producing the same using the same. SOLUTION: In the crucible for producing the single crystal, the melting tank is connected to the outside, from the middle of the side wall of the growing tank and communicatable flow holes are formed in the sidewall of the growing tank so that molten liquid can flow in or out between the inside of the melting tank and the inside of the growing tank. The single crystal can be obtained by supplying a powdery raw material into the melting tank of the crucible, mentioned above, for producing the single crystal, then melting the raw material, dipping a seed crystal into a melt flowing-in from the melting tank and pulling up the single crystal while growing the single crystal.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for improving the element performance of a lithium niobate single crystal which has been expected as the material for optical elements because it has excellent optical properties and a single crystal having a large diameter and high uniformity of composition can be supplied relatively easily, but has been limited in the improvement of the element performance due to the congruent composition containing several percents of non- stoichiometric defects in the conventional commercial lithium niobate single crystals. SOLUTION: The lithium niobate single crystal is grown from a melt having a composition containing Li more than the stoichiometric composition. The lithium niobate single crystal contains 0.1-3 mol% of at least one element of Mg, Zn, Sc and In. The lithium single crystal has a molar fraction of the formula: Li 2 O/(Nb 2 O 5 +Li 2 O) of from 0.490 to less than 0.500. The optical device using the lithium niobate single crystal and a method for producing the same are also provided. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
