LiNbO3(LN) Crystal Boule
Lithium Niobate(LiNbO3) is a useful material for optoelectronics. Many technologies are based on this material which has unique piezo-electric, optical and photoelastic properties while exhibiting mechanical and chemical stability.
The combination of excellent electro-optical, acousto-optical and non linear optical properties make an attractive host material for application in integrated optics.
Applications
1 ) Frequency doubling for wavelengths >1μm and optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) pumped at 1064 nm as well as quasi-phase-matched (QPM) devices
2 ) Pockel cells, Q-switches and phase modulators
3 ) Waveguide substrates, surface acoustic wave (SAW) wafers
