Extract

The optical properties of colorless and transparent crystals can be changed by introducing impurities into the crystal and depend on the elements added. What kind of elements should be added depends on how one modifies the properties. If one wants to put beautiful color on some colorless and transparent crystals such as Al203, SiO2, LiNbO3, etc., it is necessary to produce definite absorption peaks in the visible region for the crystals. In case of using ion implantation for introducing impurities, there is essentially no limitation to the combination of host crystal and impurities.
