LiNbO3(Lithium Niobate) crystal

Detailed Product Description

 LiNbO3(Lithium Niobate) crystal

 LiNbO3(Lithium Niobate) crystal has high mechanical and chemical stability, good physical properties, wide transparency range as well as high optical homogeneity. LiNbO3 crystal is widely used as frequency doublers for wavelength > 1mm and optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) pumped at 1064 nm. Due to its large electro-optic and acousto-optic coefficients, LiNbO3 crystal is the most commonly used material for Pockels Cells, Q-switches and phase modulators, waveguide substrate, and surface acoustic wave(SAW) wafers, etc. High quality and large size LiNbO3 crystals, waveguide substrate and SAW wafers are available. MgO:LiNbO3 (Magnesium Oxide Doped Lithium Niobate) crystal has similar effective nonlinear coefficients to pure LiNbO3 and exhibits higher optical damage threshold. Fe:LiNbO3 is used for optical storing.
