Research and Progress of LiNbO3 Thin Films Prepared by Liquid Phase Epitaxy

The influences of substrates and fluxes on the preparation of LiNbO 3 thin films and properties of ion-doped LiNbO 3 thin films were discussed. Some properties and optical applications of LiNbO 3 thin films were introduced.It is shown that high optical quality LiNbO 3 thin films can be prepared on single crystals such as LiTaO 3,5mol% MgO-doped congruent LiNbO 3 and pure congruent or near-stoichiometric LiNbO 3 by liquid phase epitaxy method.The main existing problems,the development prospects and research directions of LiNbO 3 thin films prepared by liquid phase epitaxy were also discussed.
