Abstract: We have grown Nd:MgO:LiNbO3 crystals with periodic ferroelectric domain structures. Absorption and fluorescence spectra measured on these crystals showed little difference from those from Nd:MgO:LibO3 with uniform domain structures. Green fluorescence was generated by self‐frequency doubling in a cavity having great losses and pumped by a pulsed dye laser.
