Abstract
We have studied the macro-and microstructure and properties of LiNbO3〈B〉 crystals in comparison with LiNbO3〈Zn〉 and stoichiometric and congruent lithium niobate crystals. The optical characteristics of the LiNbO3〈B〉 crystals have been shown to approach those of the stoichiometric LiNbO3 and LiNbO3〈Zn〉 crystals.
