Hf:Fe:LiNbO 3 crystals were grown in air by the Czochralski technique with various ratios of [Li]/[Nb]=0.94, 1.05, 1.20 in melt. The defect structure and location of doped ions were analyzed by the UV‐visible and infrared spectroscopy. The optical damage resistance ability of Hf:Fe:LiNbO 3 crystals was measured by the photo‐induced birefringence change and the transmitted light spot distortion method. The results show that the optical damage resistance ability of Hf:Fe:LiNbO 3 crystals is enhanced with the increase of the [Li]/[Nb] ratio. The dependence of the optical damage resistance of Hf:Fe:LiNbO 3 crystals on the defect structure is discussed in detail. (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
