lithium niobate
Photonic waveguide material
Lithium niobate is a synthetic crystalline compound used in optical and electronic devices.
Its properties make it valuable for fiber-optic communications, laser frequency conversion, and acoustic wave devices.
The material can modulate light efficiently, so it appears in modulators for high-speed data transmission: lithium niobate waveguides, lithium niobate crystals.
