LiNbO3 Crystal is widely used for frequency doublers for wavelength>1μm, optical parametric oscillators( OPOs) pumped at 1064nm and quasi-phase-matched (QPM) devices. Additionally, due to its large Electro-Optic(E-O) and Acousto-Optic(A-O) coefficients, LiNbO3 is the most commonly used material for Pockel Cells.Q-switched and phase nodulators waveguide substrate, and surface acoustic wave (SAW) wafers,etc.
