LiNbO3, MgO:LiNbO3, LiTaO3 Crystal
⦁ Lithium Niobate (LiNbO3 or LN), and Lithium Tantalate (LiTaO3 or LT).
⦁ Large size, chemically stable, non-hygroscopic, X-/Y-grown typically available.
⦁ High NLO/EO/AO coefficient
⦁ LN & LT are known low damage threshold, but can be mitigated with MgO-doping
⦁ NLO applications: OPO/DFG/SHG, E-O modulator, SAW, pyroelectric device
