Correlation between optical properties, composition, and deposition parameters in pulsed laser deposited LiNbO3 films

چکیده
The correlation between the optical properties and composition of lithium niobate films is investigated in films deposited by laser ablation of single-crystal LiNbO3 and Li enriched LiNbO3 sintered targets under different oxygen pressures and laser fluences. The results show that the variation of the film refractive index is in many cases related to the deposition process itself, rather than to a variation of the film composition. The experimental conditions to produce stoichiometric films with optical properties similar to those of the bulk material are discussed. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

We report an experimental study on optical and magneto-optical properties of Cesubstituted yttrium iron garnet thin films incorporating gold nanoparticles. Au nanoparticles were formed by heating Au thin film on cubic quartz and garnet substrate in vacuum chamber and a Ce:YIG layer was deposited on them by the aid of Pulsed laser deposition method. A large enhancement of the longitudinal Kerr e...

In this work, TiN/TiCN & PN/TiCN multilayer films were deposited by plasma- assisted chemical vapour deposition (PACVD). Plasma nitriding (PN) and TiN intermediate layer prior to coating leads to appropriate hardness gradient and it can greatly improve the mechanical properties of the coating. The composition, crystalline structure and phase of the films were investigated by X-ray d...
