LiNbO3 Crystal has unique electro-optical, piezoelectric, photoelastic and nonlinear optical properties. They are strongly birefringent. LiNbO3 are used in laserfrequency doubling, nonlinear optics, Pockels cells, optical parametric oscillators, Q-switching devices for lasers, other acousto-opticdevices, optical switches for gigahertz frequencies, etc. LiNbO3 crystal is an excellent material for manufacture of optical waveguides, etc.
Usually LiNbO3 wafer is indexed as X cut, Y cut or Z cut w...
