Comments
21 °C. Ordinary ray (o). Congruently grown lithium niobate (CLN) doped with 5 mol. % MgO.
In the original publication, the ordinary and extraordinary Sellmeier coefficients appear to be interchanged. The coefficients are presented here with no and ne swapped to match the measured dispersion and the known negative uniaxial behavior of MgO:LiNbO3.
