Lithium Niobate Wafers
Use Lithium Niobate's unique combination of high refractive index and visible and infrared transmission to makes waveguides, modulators, and sensors on our wafers.
Lithium niobate is a multifunctional material with high chemical and heat stability. Its high refractive index (>2.3) compared with glass (1.5) enables a large field-of-view when fabricated in wafer form for waveguide design.
