MgO:LiNbO3 Crystals for EO Applications

MgO:LiNbO3 crystals have become one of the most commonly used material for Q-switches and phase modulators for its high EO coefficients, MgO:LiNbO3 has a higher damaging threshold than the non-doping LiNbO3 crystals. With an electric field applied transverse to the direction of light propagation, LiNBO3 cells can be configured to operate at a lower voltage than comparable KD*P cells. LiNbO3 can also be a good choice for infrared wavelengths as long as 3.0 µm. Hangzhou Shalom EO offers the polished, and AR coating and Au-Cr electroded MgO:LiNbO3 crystals used in pockels cells.
