The photorefraction in LiNbO 3 single crystals dependent on the melt composition with and without MgO doping was investigated. It was found that 1 mol% MgO‐doped crystal with nearly stoichiometric composition has a strong photorefraction resistance. compared with a congruent composition. In an undoped crystal, the photorefraction was shown to be pronounced as incrcasing Li content of a melt from 48.6 to 58 mol% Li 2 O. These results were discussed from a viewpoint of the relationship between the photoconductivity and the concentration of cation‐site vacancies or Nb on Li‐site.
