Low‐frequency (510 MHz) paramagnetic resonance studies of all available undoped LiNbO 3 crystals revealed Fe contamination of the order of 10 to 100 ppm. By using care during crystal growth, the amount of this impurity can be substantially reduced, and crystals with reduced susceptibility to laser damage are produced.
