Mg doped LiNbO3 (LNO) and LiTaO3 (LTO) emit a spectrally broad multiphoton luminescence upon excitation with tightly-focused ultrashort laser pulses centered at 2.5 eV [1,2]. Time-resolved acquisition reveals a stretched exponential decay of the photoluminescence, which confirms the luminescence to stem from recombination of electron and hole polarons. Furthermore, the luminescence also shows a distinct contrast between virgin and single inverted domains of about 3% and 20 - 30% for LNO and LTO, respectively [2]. LNO exhibits the same contrast value when thermally pretreated at 1000∘C under oxygen atmosphere before poling. The contrast decays thermally-excited above 100∘C with an activation energy around 1 eV for both LNO and LTO. This indicates the contrast and its decay to be strongly connected to the lithium ion concentration and their activation.
