摘要：
We report on a study of optical properties of whispering gallery mode resonators made out of as-grown nominally pure lithium niobate crystals. We have observed a surprising dynamic modification of the spectrum of the resonators illuminated with the near infrared light. We attribute this effect to the photorefractive damage of the resonator host material. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
