What is the advantage of single-side polished LiNbO3 substrates over double-side polished for nonlinear optical applications?
Single-side polished substrates are typically used when only one surface requires optical quality, reducing cost and processing time. This product is single-side polished with surface roughness <5 Å, suitable for applications where the unpolished side can be mounted or bonded. Double-side polishing is listed as routine processing for applications requiring both surfaces.
What are the orientation and surface roughness specifications for this LiNbO3 substrate and how do they affect device performance?
The substrate is oriented (0001) with orientation tolerance <0.5°, and surface roughness <5 Å. These tight tolerances ensure consistent phase matching for nonlinear optical processes and minimize scattering losses in electro-optic modulators and frequency doublers.
Does this substrate include MgO doping to improve optical damage threshold?
No, this specific product (SKU AF-CM-C-LNBO-S100-C1SP) is undoped LiNbO3. MgO doping is listed as a way to improve optical damage threshold for high-power applications, but must be specified separately as an option.
This 10×10×0.5 mm (0001) single-side polished LiNbO3 substrate delivers nonlinear optical performance with high nonlinear coefficients (d33 = 34.45 pm/V) and a 0.4–2.90 μm transmission window, supporting parametric oscillators, frequency doubling, and electro-optic modulators, though its single-side polish and undoped composition impose processing and power-handling constraints.
Positive
- Nonlinear optical grade material: Supplied as nonlinear optical grade LiNbO3 with high nonlinear coefficients (d33 = 34.45 pm/V), suitable for parametric oscillators, frequency doubling, acousto-optic devices, and optical modulators.
- Broad spectral transmission window: Transmits 0.4–2.90 μm, covering visible to near-IR wavelengths, enabling operation across multiple laser wavelengths without additional optical filtering in this range.
Trade-offs
- Single-side polished configuration: This specific substrate is single-side polished only; applications requiring double-side optical quality or minimized surface roughness on both faces will need additional lapping or polishing steps.
- Undoped composition, no MgO: The material is not listed as MgO-doped; MgO doping is explicitly noted as a method to improve optical damage threshold, so this undoped version may exhibit lower resistance to optical damage under high-intensity laser exposure.
