Ikristale yeLithium Niobate (LN) inepolarization ephezulu ezenzekelayo (0.70 C/m² kwiqondo lobushushu begumbi) kwaye yikristale yeferroelectric enobona bushushu buphezulu beCurie (1210 ℃) ifunyenwe ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. Ikristale ye-LN ineempawu ezimbini ezitsala ingqalelo ekhethekileyo. Okokuqala, ineziphumo ezininzi eziphezulu ze-photoelectric, kubandakanywa umphumo we-piezoelectric, i-electro-optic effect, i-nonlinear optical effect, i-photorefractive effect, i-photovoltaic effect, i-photoelastic effect, i-acoustooptic effect kunye nezinye iimpawu ze-photoelectric. Okwesibini, ukusebenza kwe-crystal ye-LN kulungelelaniswa kakhulu, okubangelwa yi-lattice structure kunye ne-defect defect structure ye-LN crystal. Iipropathi ezininzi ze-LN crystal zinokulawulwa kakhulu ngokubunjwa kwekristale, idoping element, ulawulo lwe-valence kunye nokunye. Ukongeza, ikristale ye-LN isityebi kwizinto eziluhlaza, okuthetha ukuba umgangatho ophezulu kunye nobukhulu obukhulu bekristale enye kulula ukuyilungisa.

Ikristale ye-LN ineempawu ezizinzileyo zomzimba kunye neekhemikhali, kulula ukusetyenzwa, uluhlu olubanzi lokuhambisa ukukhanya (0.3 ~ 5μm), kwaye ine-birefringence enkulu (malunga ne-0.8 @ 633 nm) , kwaye kulula ukwenza i-waveguide yomgangatho ophezulu wokukhanya. Ke ngoko, izixhobo ze-optoelectronic ezisekwe kwi-LN, umz. isihluzi se-acoustic wave, imodyuli yokukhanya, imodyuli yesigaba, i-optical isolator, i-electro-optic Q-switch (www.wisoptic.com), zifundwa ngokubanzi kwaye zisetyenziswa kule mimandla ilandelayo: itekhnoloji yombane. , iteknoloji yonxibelelwano lwamehlo, iteknoloji yelaser. Kutshanje, kunye nokuphumelela kokusetyenziswa kwe-5G, i-micro / nano photonics, i-photonics edibeneyo kunye ne-quantum optics, ii-crystals ze-LN ziye zatsala ingqalelo ebanzi kwakhona. Ngo-2017, iBurrows yeYunivesithi yaseHarvard yade yacebisa ukuba ixesha loku“lithium niobate intlambo” uyeza ngoku.
