The optical properties of the Ce:Cu:LiNbO3 co-doped with different concentrations of In were measured, including absorption spectra, infrared transmittance spectra and holographic storage properties. The doped threshold of In was determined via the results of spectrum measurement. When the doped concentration of In is over its threshold, the photo-damage resistance ability of In:Ce:Cu:LiNbO3 is improved dramatically. In the measurement of holographic storage properties, the response time of 34s, diffraction efficiency of 33%, and exponential gain coefficient of 18cm-1 were obtained for In(3mol%):Ce(0.20wt%):Cu(0.015wt%):LiNbO3 crystal.
