Photorefractive effect was researched and band gap was determined in nominally pure congruent and stoichiometric lithium niobate crystals, and in a series of congruent LiNbO3 crystals doped by Mg, Zn, B, Gd, Y, Er cations, and LiNbO3 single crystals with double doping Mg:Gd, Mg:Fe, Mg:Y, Mg:Ta by photoinduced light scattering and optical spectroscopy methods.

Keywords: lithium niobate single crystal, doping, photorefractive effect, photoinduced light scattering, optical spectroscopy, band gap
