Abstract: Discusses a study which investigates the influence of heat treatment in an oxygen atmosphere on the induced dark traces in lithium niobate (LiNbO[sub3] samples. Information on LiNbO[sub3] crystals; Description of the transmission loss spectra of dark traces in LiNbO[sub3]:magnesium and LiNbO[sub3]:zinc; Factor that causes changes in the valence state of point defects and host ions.
