摘要
The complex dielectric constants of congruent LiNbO3 and LiTaO3 single crystals in a THz frequency region have been determined directly by using broadband terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) with reflection configuration. We have successfully extracted the accurate complex dielectric constants by using corrected phase information derived from the transmission measurement results. The lowest E(TO1) phonon modes of both crystals have been observed clearly. On the other hand, additional bands at approximately 2.5THz below the lowest A(1)(TO1) mode frequency have been observed. These bands have also been reported by Raman and hyper-Raman spectroscopy and attributed to intrinsic defects in congruent crystals. According to the experimental results that these additional bands were observed at almost the same frequency on Raman, hyper-Raman, and THz-TDS, these bands are suggested to be assigned as a first-order scattering process.
