Abstract: We report ferroelectric electron emission (FEE) from LiNbO3 crystal under laser radiation. The FEE is detected through electric pulses sequence of 1-10 msec depending on laser intensity. A preliminary analysis of the data indicates on very low, if any threshold of laser radiation required for light conversion into the FEE.
