Abstract A study of the 2 lowest-frequency A1 phonon modes is performed in various LiNbO3 samples using backward stimulated Raman Scattering. The measured values of the damping constant are smaller than those previously reported in literature. Moreover, the nonlinear coefficient present in the Raman Scattering intensity expression is shown to be very sensitive to the crystal composition. This composition, and the homogeneity of the sample are characterized from second harmonic generation experiments.
