    • Commodity name: Optical Grade Lithium Niobate Crystals And Substrates

    1. Brief Introduction:

    1.1 Advantages Over Other Optical Crystals:

    • Large electro-optic and nonlinear optical coefficients
    • Wide light transmission window (321nm-5000nm)
    • Large birefringence (Δ(no-ne) = 0.086@632.8nm)
    • Capable of growing Kg-scale bulk crystals
    • Good machinability, non-hygroscopic

     

    1.2 Applications:

    • Integrated Waveguide Photonics
    • Wave Guide Lasers
    • Polarizer for Optic Isolator
    • Electro-optic Waveguide Phase Modulators
    • Electro-optic Waveguide Amplitude Modulators
    • Quasi-phase Matching for SHG and OPO

    3. Product Types

    3.1 Based on application areas, Unicrystal offers customers the following product types:

    • Isolator Grade: Utilizes a medium growth rate, high crystallinity, and multiple crucible scrap additions for remelting (≥4 times), resulting in a lower price.
    • Optical Waveguide Grade: Employs a low growth rate, lower crystallinity, and crucible scrap additions for remelting ≤ 4 times, resulting in a higher price.

    3.2 Based on application areas, Unicrystal offers customers two product levels:

    • CLN, SLN, MgO: CLN, CLT, and other doped lithium niobate crystals and wafers.

    3.3 Based on cutting direction, Unicrystal offers customers ingots or wafers with different cutting orientations:

    • X-cut
    • Y-cut
    • Z-cut
    • Others

     

    We employ a reasonable temperature field design and innovative growth process to directly grow ingots of various axial directions, unlike some competitors who use 4-inch Z-cut ingots to laterally drill out X or Y-cut ingots. The latter method produces wafers with vertically grown layers, which may have some impact on applications.
