Excitons in lithium niobate and their impact on non-linear optical properties — •Agnieszka Kozub, Wolf Gero Schmidt, and Uwe Gerstmann — Universität Paderborn, Department Physik, 33095 Paderborn, Germany

The influence of self-trapped and vacancy-trapped excitons on the lithium niobate (LiNbO3, LN) dielectric function and nonlinear susceptibility is calculated based on density-functional theory. The PBE0 hybrid functional is used for the description of electron exchange and correlation. The dielectric function it obtained by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation. This yields an absorption peak at 2.6 eV, in perfect agreement with experiment [1]. The second- and third order- nonlinear susceptibility tensors are obtained from a Berry-phase formulation of the dynamical polarization. A strong enhancement of the susceptibilities for photon energies in the band gap region is noted to arise from localized excitons.
