LiNbO3
Lithium niobate (LiNbO3, LN) crystals are widely used for frequency doubling above 1000 nm and optical parametric amplification of 1064 nm pump light, and can also be used for quasi-phase matching. Due to their large electro-optic and acousto-optic coefficients, they are often used to make Pockels cells, Q-switches, phase modulators, waveguide materials, acoustic wave plates, etc. Zhongce can provide high-quality, large-size lithium niobate crystals of various specifications.
