LiNbO3 Crystal has unique electro-optical , piezoelectric , photoelastic and nonlinear optical properties.
They are strongly birefringent .
They are used in laser frequency doubling , nonlinear optics , Pockels cells , optical parametric oscillators , Q-switching devices for lasers, other acousto-optic devices, optical switches for gigahertz frequencies, etc.
It is an excellent material for manufacture of optical waveguides , etc.
Usually LiNbO3 wafer is indexed as X cut, Y cut or Z cut with trigonal structure, it also can be indexed with hexagonal structure.
Conversion from the trigonal -index system to hexagonal as [u ' v ' w ' ] ---> [u v t w] is accomplished by the following formulas:
○ X-cut (110) = (11-20) or (22-40) XRD 2theta is 36.56 or 77.73 degrees
○ Y-cut (010) = (10-10),(20-20) or (30-30）XRD 2theta
○ is 20.86,42.46,65.83 degrees.
