Nonstructural acousto-injection luminescence in metalized lithium niobate wafers

Natural focusing of x rays from ferroelectric lithium niobate wafers

Calligraphic poling of Lithium Niobate.

We demonstrate a novel technique for instituting complex and arbitrary shaped micron-scale domain patterns in LiNbO3 at room temperature. Fabrication of continuous domains as narrow as 2 microm across and hexagonal patterns of the same order accompanied by real time visualization of the poling process are presented.

Gbit / s Lithium Niobate Modulator

As 10 Gbit/s long-distance optical communication systems become more and more pervasive, requirements rise relating to increased levels of performance, as well as the miniaturization of key devices that configure such systems. Lithium niobate (LN) modulators are used primarily as optical modulators that change high-speed electrical signals at 10 Gbit/s to optical signals for long-distance commu...

Chip-scale cavity optomechanics in lithium niobate

We develop a chip-scale cavity optomechanical system in single-crystal lithium niobate that exhibits high optical quality factors and a large frequency-quality product as high as 3.6 × 1012 Hz at room temperature and atmosphere. The excellent optical and mechanical properties together with the strong optomechanical coupling allow us to efficiently excite the coherent regenerative optomechanical...

Of Multiple Hologram Recording in Lithium Niobate

The results of detailed experimental and theoretical considerations relating to multiple hologram recording in lithium niobate is reported. The following problem areas are identified and discussed: 1) the angular selectivity of the stored holograms, 2) interference effects due to the crystal surfaces, 3) beam divergence effects, 4) material recording sensitivity, and 5) scattered light from mat...
