Lithium Niobium oxide

Lithium niobate is widely used in optoelectronics for its strong electro-optic and nonlinear optical properties, serving as a primary material for optical modulators and waveguides.

Lithium niobate targets are utilized in sputtering processes to deposit high-quality ferroelectric and piezoelectric thin films for surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices.

Used as a material for optical coatings to create specialized filters and nonlinear optical layers in laser systems.

LiNbO3 is employed as an evaporation source material for the vacuum deposition of thin films in the fabrication of integrated photonic circuits.
