摘　　要：A series of Yb：Nd：LiNbO3 crystals tridoped with various concentrations of Zr4＋（1 mol.%, 2 mol.% and 4 mol.%） were grown by the Czochralski technique from the congruent melt. The X-ray powder diffraction, UV-Vis-NIR absorption spectra and IR transmittance spectra were measured to analyze the crystal composition and defect structure. The Zr4＋, Yb3＋ and Nd3＋ ions in LiNbO3 crystal had two effects： volume compensation effect and ion valence state compensation effect. The Zr O2 doping threshold concentration was nearly 2.0 mol.%. The fluorescence emissions of Nd3＋ ions and Yb3＋ ions were observed under 808 nm excitation. The intensity of fluorescence emissions enhanced with the increasing of the Zr4＋ doping concentrations. The Zr：Yb：Nd：LiNbO3 crystals with 4 mol.% doping concentration of Zr4＋ ion revealed strong emission around 1 μm, which is of great significance for laser materials.A series of Yb：Nd：LiNbO3 crystals tridoped with various concentrations of Zr4＋（1 mol.%, 2 mol.% and 4 mol.%） were grown by the Czochralski technique from the congruent melt.
