The purpose of this paper is to summarize the current understanding of the defect chemistry of nonlinear optical oxide crystals and specifically the relationship of the defects present to 1) the structure and growth, or processing, of the material and 2) the properties of interest for device applications. The defects in traditional nonlinear optical oxide crystals (i.e. BaTiC>3, LiNbC>3, Sri-xBaxNb206, Ba2NaNb50l5, K3Li2Nb50l5) are reviewed. Our recent work on the defect chemistry of new... [Pg.383]
