2. Lithium niobate and its electro-optical properties

2.1 Material description and manufacturing

Lithium niobate, LiNbO 3 , is a synthetic material with various physical and optical properties.  . It is a colorless crystal, transparent over a very wide wavelength range from ultraviolet, around 300 nm, to mid-infrared (5,000 nm). Figure 3 shows the transmission of lithium niobate. Transparency is perfectly uniform over a wide range...
