By applying the energy matrix elements, including coulomb interaction and spin-orbit coupling, of the strong field coupling scheme for d2(d8) electron configuration in trigonal crystal field and adopting the method of complete diagonalization, we calculate the optical spectra and the EPR spectrum of Ni2+:LiNbO3 with C3v symmetry. The results agree well with the values measured experimentally.
