초록

Erbium(Er) doped LiNbO3(Er:LiNbO3) single crystal gibers were grown free of cracks along the c-axis by micro-pulling down method. the Er3+ concentration was distributed homogeneously along the growth axis. The samples for optical characterization were cut from as-grown single crystal fibers and polished. When the 980 nm light was incident on the sample, upconversion phenomena were observed at the green range of wavelength 510~570 nm. In addition, the intensity of upconversion was remarkably increased by increasing the concentration of Er2O3 dopant in as-grown Er:LiNbO3 crystals.
