Abstract
Techniques for evaluating the quality of single crystals of LiNbO3 by a Twyman‐Green interferometer and between crossed polarizers are described and the quality coefficients so obtained are compared with the second‐harmonic generation performance measured using a 1.084‐μ gas laser. The variations in quality are interpreted in terms of gradients of chemical composition, and a method for partially correcting them is described.Keywords
